Текст песни Iced Earth - Ten Thousand Strong

Текст:

A gathering summoned by the Elder A consequence of what's imminent A prophecy dark and foreboding Forces the to face human intent The chosen seek refuge in the mountains Reluctantly the loved ones recognize The sacrifice they must adhere to The only hope for future Setian life Like a martyr sacrificed Await the days of Clouding Earth Mother's sharing in our pain Erase the human memory They know not of where they came And though our hearts are broken We have to wipe the tears away In vain they did not suffer Ten thousand strong will seize the day What we possess, mankind is after Direct descendants of the Architect Children of God, seeds of creation Stakes so high we must never relent We lie in wait 'til the human minds are clouded Initiation of the Master Plan Assimilate, build new life among them Centuries will pass, patience will win We are the bane of man Await the days of Clouding Earth Mother's sharing in our pain Erase the human memory They know not of where they came And though our hearts are broken We have to wipe the tears away In vain they did not suffer Ten thousand strong will seize the day
