lyrics

Across the dunes to Pharaoh
We were sent to bring him low
And now it’s time to devour
What’s in the fields for miles

With wings and a vision
We were sent to devour
Carry on with the mission
A plague to humble the proud

Sent to sustain the immerser
Across the fields to be his food
Now it’s time to be devoured
Give him strength to go

Bop shoo-op do-bee do-bop
Hit the scene, we’re gonna fly
Bop shoo-op do-bee do-bop
With wings we’re gonna fly

With wings and a vision
We were sent to provide
Carry on with the mission
Food for the prophet renowned

A swarm sent to cover the skies
Rain down food for the prophet today

We’re rolling like a freight train, yo
We’re sent down to bring it low
We’re raining down the pain, yo

Heavy locust up in the sky
Sent down to bring it low

We’re coming like a freight train, yo
We’re sent down to bring it low
We’re raining down the pain, yo

Heavy locust up in the sky
Were sent down to bring it low
Heavy locust is feeding me
Sent down to satisfy

Heavy locust up in the sky
Sent down to bring it low
Heavy locust is feeding me
Were sent down to bring it low
Heavy locust up in the sky
Were sent down to bring it low
Heavy locust is feeding me
Sent down to satisfy
