From ashes we arose A cradle made of bones We feasted on each other's throats Societies emerged A circle fully fledged We clutched our hands until they bled We came alone Blind and naked in this world We grew and thrived Faced extinction and survived But now it's time To look down from where we've climbed A parasite With a host ever dying And through the violence We broke the silent vow We will be lost and never found And still the killing goes on Leaving ashes and destruction in our wake Wistfully gazing above When there's not much longer 'till we burst in flames How long will this carry on? Soon the ground will crumble, swallowing us whole Spiralling out of control We're the sons of the light And we are the blight We are the blight We have the cure for the disease Locked down inside us When all is dead, then we will see We are the virus Under the nuclear skies Broken promises that killed our future home And as the last of us dies She'll reclaim the land to mend what we once spoiled Why do we aim for the stars? When we always end up stooping down so low The blind leading the blind We're the sons of the light But we are the blight We are the blight We have the cure for the disease Locked down inside us When all is dead, then we will see We are the virus And so we're left alone Stuck on a barren land we used to call our home We are the blight Find me, blind me Leave me behind Crown me, drown me Lay me down to die And through the violence We broke the silent vow We will be lost and never found We are the blight We have the cure for the disease Locked down inside us When all is dead, then we will see We are the virus And so we're left alone Stuck on a barren land we used to call our home
