Iced Earth
Something Wicked (Pt. 1)
[Segue: Guitar Solo]

[Intro]
I can see clearly now
A painful vision indeed
(A painful vision indeed)
An attempt at genocide
Twelve thousand years of pain
(Twelve thousand years of pain)
The human thirst for dominance
Leads them to Setian ground
The gravest of all threats now exists
And all galaxies could suffer
Imagine the consequence if man does succeed (Lives that will suffer)
The universe and all that lives will suffer evermore (Through the time will spread)
Like a virus man will spread through the time continuum
It's a power they can't comprehend
A power we must secure
Yeeeaaaaaaaaw!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaw!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
So heed my word
A prophecy that's bleak and haunting
Acceptance not fear
Will pave the way for a life returning
The Elder foresee
In sacred flames, our world is burning
Yet more things are clear
By grand design, punishment unfolding
[Chorus]
Faith in the prophecy
We'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something wicked feeds
Thy will be done

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Faith in the prophecy
We'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something wicked feeds
Thy will be done
