Something Wicked Part 1 Lyrics - Iced Earth

I can see clearly now 

A painful vision indeed 

An attempt at genocide, 12,000 years of pain 

The human thirst for dominance 

Leads them to Setian ground 

The gravest of all threats now exists 

All galaxies could suffer 

Imagine the consequence if Man does succeed 

The universe and all that lives will suffer evermore 

Like a virus Man will spread 

Through the time continuum 

It's a power they can't comprehend 

A power we must secure 

So heed my word 

A prophecy that's bleak and haunting 

Acceptance not fear 

Will pave the wave for life returning 

The Elder foreseen 

In Sacred Flames our world is burning 

Yet more things are clear 

By grand design, punishment unfolding 

Faith in the prophecy 

We'll take this tragedy, unite as one 

Fate, show man no sympathy 

Something Wicked feeds, thy will be done 

Ten thousand souls 

One for every year of framing 

One of thirteen The High Priest and 

the twelve that council 

Charged with our tome 

Retribution for our loved ones suffering 

In secret they'll meet 

A global network that endures for centuries
