1. THE SWARM IS UPON US

(Instrumental)


2. MAD LOCUST RISING

Their mating has started, there's no way to stop them,
Brushed by the wings of the King, Nostradamus
Thundering black of the swarms are upon us
The cup of the wrath, the winepress of death

The whore and the beast, are having a feast
On mankind and his weakness
The scabs of the lustful, the womb is distrustful
Subsiding with pain, The Abyss

A small open country with wide open fields
The Villagers run from the pain that they yield
The bite of the locust, the witchdoctor's potion
The curse of the insect's infection

Deceit is upon us, the sores that won't heal
The signs they're preparing are being revealed
They fly in a pack, prepare for attack
Carnivorously lusting your flesh

Flying, striking spreading their wings
There's no denying their presence
The prophecy's done, they warned us they'd come
Soon they'll be coming for you

The battle is won, but losing the war, 'Geddon is so very near
They've broken the seal, their coming for you... Attack!

Locust and plagues, locust and plagues
Locust and plagues, locust and plagues

The Mad Locust Rising, revealing his wings
Preparing to fly once again
Soon others like him will rise up and fight
Attack! the bloody command

The Swarm's moving north will attack destroy
Cities and Kingdoms we've built
Slashing, Chomping the ends of the Earth
They seek to recapture the child

Across the waters the swarm moving closer
Their destination unknown
Commanded by vengeance with blood thirsty teeth
The blood of the Martyr's they shield

The woman repents, but still she is spent
There's no hiding guilt once brushed by the wings
The threshold of fate, the furnace of pain
It's waiting for you, the coming of Locust and plagues


3. THE RIPPER (JUDAS PRIEST COVER)

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock, ah
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like "Jack the knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp

I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper


4. LET IT BE DONE / THE DAY AT GUYANA

(Instrumental)


5. TAKEN BY FORCE

Bonded in leather
Pumping blood through my veins
Sweet virgins sacrificed
Screaming with pain
Drifting through night air
Life's so insane
Dark scattered figures
Shooting steel thru my brains!

[Chorus:]
Taken by force, showing no mercy
Taken by force, lay your life on the line
Taken by force, your life's so dirty
Taken by force, save your soul while there's time

Living a nightlife
Life's living low
Low hearted beasts
Leaving tracks in the snow
Numbers are searching
Searching the light
Just to be crushed
In the dark of the night

[Chorus]

Shattered and hopeless
You've poisoned your mind
Cast of your worries
You'll leave'em behind
Drowning in sorrows
Tomorrow's not seen
Never know where you're going
Or cared where you've been...

[Chorus]
