The Fly Catcher's Shadow
After the great disappearance ----
Confusion and death ---
--- Will ---
Spread across every land -----------
--- Like a great shadow ---
And fear----------------
Will fill the hearts --
Of brave men --
--- Who suddenly realize ---
That they ----------
Along with many ---
They love ---
--- Have been left behind ---
And the emptiness that follows --
Consumes ---
--- The hearts of everyone ---
And up out of the darkness -----
There shall rise ---
--- A true leader of men ---
Who will cast blinders ----
On the truth ---
And he will deceive ---
--- The people ---
Just as the Flycatcher -----
--- Deceives the fly ---
And just as the fly ---
Will no doubt ---
Be led into death ---
So shall the souls ---
--- Of those who follow ---
The Flycatcher’s shadow ---
Into ---
The time of peace ---
That will come ---
At the price of freedom ---
-------- And the entire world will be united as one --------
