[Verse 1]
In the ether an ominous sound
An intemperate wave
Locusts engulfing the field
An insatiable plague
Emblazoned in emblems of navy and gray

[Verse 2]
Perched on the horizon
As they swallow the sun
Made bold with a canting eye
And the warmth of a gun
Gilded in armor of navy and gray

[Verse 3]
Malevolent swarm
Ravenous storm
Cold and pious, they push from the sky
No contrition there, as they circle the field

[Break]
Stifling the sun with wicked hands
Everything undone with vicious plans

[Refrain]
Hand of the shield
Suppressing the field
Hand of the shield
Smothering the field
[Instrumental break]

[Refrain]
Hand of the shield
Suppressing the field
Hand of the shield
Smothering the field
