Something Wicked This Way Comes

 We been livin in the sewers 
 We been sleeping in the fields 
 We been counting crows at midnight 
 In back alleys of the wheel 
 And all the time I hear it comin 
 Like the risin' of the moon 
 Hairless apes obsessed with poison 
 Brutal engines spraying doom 
 Heat the air and raise the ocean 
 Call down torrents from the sky 
 Not a hand was raised in protest 
 As they watched the planet die 
 
 Chorus 
 By the pricking of my thumbs 
 Something wicked 
 This way comes 
 Something wicked 
 This way comes 
 
 Since before the dawn of reason 
 Risen from the thoughtless sea 
 Their furry forebears scrabbled mindless 
 Flake the rock and burn the tree 
 Dig the ore and smelt the metal 
 Pump the oil into its veins 
 Tease the spark to leap the gap 
 Leaving Nature to rot in chains 
 We've been waiting in the background 
 Crawling sightless through their dream 
 Hoping for some chance connection 
 Ground insensate by their scheme 
 
 Chorus 
 
 Now we stand by fate connected 
 Hand to hand and heart to heart 
 As we watch them lurch toward doomsday 
 And the final battle starts 
 Call me Caliban or Grendel 
 The slow return of the repressed 
 Earth will find a path to balance 
 For the children dispossessed 
 Nature's had enough of humans 
 Now we ride with Doctor Ain 
 As we join the marching forest 
 To the hill of Dunsinane 
 
 Chorus
