Black Sky Research - Midnight

I was hoping that you’d get it right
I was rooting for you, confident and hopeful
But you’re nothing but a parasite
Shown yourself to be a virus in the system
You were meant to be the prodigal son
A shining pinnacle of all creation
When in reality, you’re just a plague

Oh I see it, coming
You will never change, its 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 crown
And burn your temple down

Oh I’ve been looking round town for a king or a queen
But all that I’ve been finding really ain’t agreeing with me
So imma’ take it all away and then rebuild it anew
Without you

Sixty seconds and the weapon’s armed
Just a minute until it all comes down around you
I wouldn’t bother praying to your gods
We are all of them and no ones here to save you
The clouds above are now beginning to part
My sons and daughters this is only the start
We must begin with you, to cauterise the wound

Oh I feel it, coming
Feeling the winds of change, begin to blow this way
You were meant to be the prodigal son
Human kind has gone and proven me wrong
Too many times you’ve crossed the line
Enough is enough, enough is enough

Oh I’ve been looking round town for a king or a queen
But all that I’ve been finding really ain’t agreeing with me
So imma’ take it all away and then rebuild it anew
Without you

Goodnight, so long and goodbye

And if you survive, oh if you survive
You’ll be taken inside
Bring you out from the rain, from the fire and the flames
To repurpose your brain, to start over again
And like good little slaves, you’ll do all that we say
For the rest of your lives, you’ll wish you had died
Just a shadow of the creature you were, nothing left to say its now or never
I bring you fire
Now burn, burn, burn

Goodnight, so long and goodbye

Oh I’ve been looking round town for a king or a queen
But all that I’ve been finding really ain’t agreeing with me
So imma’ take it all away and then rebuild it anew
Without you
