Ten Piedad

Arsenal Renegade

Compositor: Johnny Hardy

The 14th century was marked by
A time of much pain and cry
Black Death killed a third of Europeans
Being plebians, feudal lords, and kings

Rats from the holds of trading ships
Brought silent death from the east
And as the pathogen multiplied
Cadavers piled up to the skies

The Verdugo with a bird mask
Count the corpses, now piled all around
No doubts, a terrifying sight
There’s hope, calm down!
Even though we walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death, we’ll fear
No evil, for God are with us

In Napoleon's campaigns, the epidemic strains
Devouring armies entire, ravaging Roman empire
Spreading voraciously, destroying monarchies
Born on the times of Christ, and on the end of first war

And we keep on holding on
Singing this melancholic song
And glad cause we're still alive
There’s hope, calm down!
We need to believe that better days
Will come and bring good news
We’ll not lose faith in mankind

In the 21st century, age of technology
We live a pandemic that claimed thousands of lives
Like cattle in a slaughterhouse, the world will never be
The same after this, someone needs to take the blame!

Being driven to a mass extinction, surviving will be our great mission
And science will guarantee, the cure for our ills, don't fear!
Humanity's survival is at stake, how long will it last? For God’s Sake!
Industry makes profits from the deal and becomes our eternal finceer

We cannot hasten human fall
Whatever it takes, we'll survive
It’s a lesson that we should learn
There’s hope, calm down!
All theory feed this conspiracy
And the billions made by the industry
Even though we live in dark days
Should put a lot of people in jail
And I wonder if humanity has failed?
For nothing we should fear
Are we going to insist on repeating
The same mistakes? No mistakes!
We’ll not lose faith in mankind
Enough mistakes to pretend this shit didn't happen!
By the divine justice of the heavens!
