Retribution through the Ages

Time, thousands of years pass by
 But with the ancient rites in tact
 Man, mankind has multiplied
 Spreading worldwide as planned
 Kings and their armies preen
 Draw lines in the sand
 Fight for their so called rights
 To God, gold and land
 And through the ages we hand them their fate
 Marionettes on a string
 Phased retribution precise and exact
 'Til the birth of the one sets us free
 Blood, earth mothers soaked in blood
 Spilled from the warring clans of man
 Greed will serve to feed unrest
 Antagonized within by our hand
 Pain, death and pestilence
 Will shake human faith
 Creeds serving heresy
 A crutch for man's flawed way
 And through the ages we hand them their fate
 Marionettes on a string
 Phased retribution precise and exact
 'Til the birth of the one sets us free
 And through the ages we hand them their fate
 Marionettes on a string
 Phased retribution precise and exact
 'Til the birth of the one sets us free
