Midnight
(At the third stroke, the time will be 11:57 p.m.)
I was hoping that you'd get it right
I was rooting for you, confident and hopeful
But you're nothing but a parasite
Took me south to be a virus in the system
You were meant to be the prodigal son
A shining pinnacle of all creation
But in reality
You're just a plague
Oh, I see it coming
You will never change
It's either you or me
Undeserving of the ground you walk on
You are nothing but the damage you've done
It's time to take away your ground and burn your temple down
Well, I've been looking around town for a king or a queen
But all that I've been finding really ain't agreeing with me
So I'ma take it all away and then rebuild it now
Without you
60 seconds and the weapon's armed
Just a minute 'til it all comes down around you
I wouldn't bother praying to your gods
We are all and there'll be no one's gonna save you
The clouds above are now beginning to part
My sons and daughters, this is only the start
We must be here with you to cauterize the wound
Oh, I feel it coming
Feeling the winds have changed
Begin to blow this way
You were meant to be the prodigal son
Humankind is gonna prove me wrong
Too many times you crossed the line
Enough's enough, enough is enough
Well, I've been looking around town for a king or a queen
But all that I've been finding really ain't agreeing with me
So I'ma take it all away and then rebuild it now
Without you
Goodnight
So long and goodbye
And if you survive
Oh, if you survive, you'll be taking a side
When you're out from the rain, from the fire and the flames
To repurpose your blame, to start over again
And our good little slaves kill you all if we say
They will serve up your lies, you would wish you would die
Just a shadow of the creature you were
Enough to say it's now or never
I pray you find
Bang, bang, bang
Goodnight
So long and goodbye
Well, I've been looking around town for a king or a queen
But all that I've been finding really ain't agreeing with me
So I'ma take it all away and then rebuild it now
Without you
I was hoping that you'd get it right
I was rooting for you, confident and hopeful
But you're nothing but a parasite
Took me south to be a virus in the system
You were meant to be the prodigal son
A shining pinnacle of all creation
