I Am The Locust Lyrics

I am the locust and I tell the quiet lies



To ageless gentle children with sparkle in their eyes



And all the while She watches and waits her monstrous chance



To terminate the dreaming in all our song and dance







Chorus:	 The quiet lies of dreaming



	 Remain in spite of time



	 And all her evil scheming



	 Cannot cull the magic rhyme



	 I am the locust and I sing the locust song



	 Sing along







People laughing, breathing, turn to robots as I watch



And isolation claims them as they shrink from human touch



And She has many victories but still my lies live on



And they will grow and flourish when her dark machine has gone







Each generation brings the ones with sparkle eyes



The children She has not suborned with all her glib replies



And some day when the ones who dream rise up to take their stand



The children of the locust will bring magic to the land







Coda
