We lie in wait – time is drawing near Earth crisis is all too clear The human virus starting to awake So we must manipulate We can’t accept this human threat The power structure is intact As gods on earth we will forsake We must release the plague So if you’re asking yourself why Your eyes are blind to the raging storm Will they cleanse the earth of humanity? Unleash the plagues of Babylon Compliance! Submission! Cowards, led astray! Traitors! Liars! Deceivers, have their way! “And this shall be the plague that which the gods will strike all the peoples that wage war against them, their flesh will rot while standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.” There’s no escape – they feed from our hands Our minions plot as they make their stand As gods on earth we have foreseen We’ll make the peasants bleed So if you’re asking yourself why Your eyes are blind to the raging storm Will they cleanse the earth of humanity? Unleash the plagues of Babylon... (So if you’re asking yourself why) Your eyes are blind to the raging storm Will they cleanse the earth of humanity? Unleash the plagues of Babylon...

Where can I turn? You’ve grown away I grieve in silence So much I’ve learned to life today Still I need your guidance You always find the words to say To ease my troubles mind Now you’ve gone I feel alone If I could see you one more time If I could see you now You’d help me find my way If I could see you now You’d help me find my way Where can I turn? You’ve grown away I need your words of wisdom Sometimes I’m lost and in a rage Taking things for granted You were the one who did believe When no one else could see If I could share what’s on my mind If I could see you one last time If I could see you now You’d help me find my way If I could see you now You’d help me find my way If I could see you now You’d help me find my way I’ll find the strength somehow I’ll fight to seize the day If I could see you now You’d help me find my way I’ll find the strength somehow I’ll fight to seize the day

As the sun sets I ride With my pistol by my side I know I’ll survive tonight Like dust in the wind I’m restless with no end I’ll find the man who sinned Death heavy on my mind The wounds will heal in time My strength will win the fight The sun begins to rise... Rode in town with a loaded gun My face is burnt and I’m on the run The whole damn town won’t look me in the eye Took a seat at the local saloon Piano man playing outta tune A shot of whisky to wash away the pain Raise my head the man is staring at me I grind my teeth, my heart quickly beats I make my move ‘cause it’s time for him to pay He stands and tries to ghost himself away I quickly follow, I can’t hesitate My trigger finger telling me he’s got to die I shot my gun – he had to pay the final price One man down, many more to go I’m justified, I just need to settle the score They’ll never take my peacemaker away Grab my steed and I’m set to tide I gotta move or they’ll catch my hide I’m only free with the blood I’ve left behind I make my journey across the dusty plains I got a plan to cure my sorrow and pain The smoke clears and I live to see the day... I shot my gun – he had to pay the final price One man down, many more to go I’m justified, I just need to settle the score They’ll never take my peacemaker away I shot my gun – he had to pay the final price One man down, many more to go I’m justified, I just need to settle the score They’ll never take my peacemaker away
