Lyrics

    some say it was a warning
    some say it's a sign
    i was standing right there
    when it came down from the sky
    the way it spoke to us
    you felt it from inside
    said it was up to us
    up to us to decide
    "you've become a virus
    killing off his host
    we been watching you with all of our eyes
    and what you seem to value most
    so much potential
    or so we used to say
    your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
    you piss it all away
    we heard her cry
    we have come to intervene
    you will change your ways and you will make amends
    or we will wipe this place clean"
    
    your time is ticking away
