From a land far away
O’er great oceans I’ve roamed
Through careless indifference
Great misery I’ve sown
If you still haven’t met me
There’s time for you yet
Our paths soon will cross
On that you can bet
Each of you when we meet
Your own toll shall you pay
Though the tithe that I take
Isn’t always the same
But take from you I will
There’s nought you can do
Once we have met
Know for sure I’ll own you
Yes some may escape
This is quite true
But don’t relax yet
I’ve not finished with you
Just when you think
The danger is passed
I’m learning and changing
And doing so fast
So try as you might
Science won’t save you alone
Sleep on watch if you dare
Of sleep I need none
My legions are growing
Far worse days are yet to come
When you count up your losses
I’ll have barely begun
I’m in this for the long run
So if you’re not too
My victory’s assured
Your fate’s down to you.
