The Marred - The Mighty Ones Lyrics

The old woman spoke to her tribe by the fireside
To tell them about when the mighty ones
Arrived
She was a child and saw them with her own eyes
When the rivers of red blood flowed from humankind

They were as tall and strong as the trees
They came out of the air like a deadly wind
They were everywhere all at once and they
Tore people apart from limb to limb

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Why didn't they just kill you too? Somebody asked
The old woman just closed her old eyes began to laugh
Humanity as it was could not be saved
But we were spared and in their image remade

To the mighty ones they bow and pray
They live close to the Earth and never stray
The knowledge of the past is all erased
Forbidden are the old human ways

Ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya
