Terrible Certainty

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Die, slowly you're dying

From this contagious disease

Once you're infected there's no hope of a cure

Your passing is a sure thing

Your thoughts are empty and hopeless

Nothing is left for you now

Having to live with this terrible certainty

Praying is all you can do

[Chorus]

It's vicious and crippling

And slowly your life will end

But how long will it take

To save us from the plague?

With fatal convulsions

The plague is reaching for us

God knows... What will it take

To save us from the plague?

[Verse 2]

Contracted by blood

The virus can be in all of us

You're one of its victims, but then thousands more

And they will not be the last

So many civilizations before

The mighty, the proud and the brave

The poor, the rich — indiscriminate

Soon they will end in the grave

[Chorus]

It's vicious and crippling

And slowly your life will end

But how long will it take

To save us from the plague?

With fatal convulsions

The plague is reaching for us

God knows... What will it take

To save us from the plague?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

It's vicious and crippling

And slowly your life will end

But how long will it take

To save us from the plague?

With fatal convulsions

The plague is reaching for us

God knows... What will it take

To save us from the plague?
