rots

(So spreads the rot, so spreads the rot, so spreads the rot, so spreads the rot) (Since you refuse to free my people) (Since you refuse to free my people) (So spreads the rot, so spreads the rot, so spreads the rot, so spreads the rot) (Through all these rotting streets) I send the sickness through the blood Into your homes, into your walls Into each step that smells of death Upon your beasts, upon your flocks Upon the ground where carrion lies Into your dreams, into your sleep Until your will begins to die I hear them crawl, I hear them swarm So spreads the rot Once I called you sister Once I thought the way to make you laugh Was all I ever needed I hear the sirens split the night I see the city swallowed whole And even now, I wish that fate had chose another Standing as your foe on His behalf Is not what I believed in I see the ash upon our hands Like everything is turning gray This was our home All this rot and suffocation tears my body from within All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and sin I hear the cracking in the flesh Such as the world has never seen Until we’re something in between I feel it spread, I feel it grow So spreads the rot You, who I called sister Why must you let this all go on? I feel it spread, I feel it grow Let my people go! So spreads the rot So spreads the rot You, who I called sister How could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted? I hear them crawl, I hear them swarm Then let my heart be hardened And never mind how high the cost may grow This will still be so I will never let your people go So spreads the rot So spreads the rot I will not let your (My) people go
