Let me tell you a tale of a time When the world was veiled by darkness Your children played in the streets like rats And I stood by and watched them decay Mankind is such a filthy disease A plague upon the earth I've looked into the hearts of corrupt men before And found myself disgusted Let me turn back the hands of time You may not like what you will find This will go on and on And on, and on, and on, and on You are a plague upon the earth Wretched and vile Wars, lies, death, and hate The earth has seen over 100 billion burials We all have looked upon the faces of broken men There is despair in every generation We watch our children die So tell me demon, what are you trying to prove There is a line that I will never cross All of the evil that you are showing me Will not break my faith Let me tell you a tale of a time When the world was veiled by darkness Your children played in the streets like rats And I stood by and watched them decay Slither on the ground like a snake Slither on the ground like a snake Be gone from me Be gone from my sight and slither on the ground like a snake You will never get the best of me My feet are planted on solid ground You will never shake my faith
