About Setian Massacre

"Setian Massacre" is a single by the American heavy metal band Iced Earth. The two songs on the single (the title-track and "Ten Thousand Strong") are taken from the group's 2007 album, Framing Armageddon: Something Wicked Part 1. Both songs are a part of the rhythm guitarist Jon Schaffer's "Something Wicked" storyline, on which the entire Framing Armageddon album and its follow-up, The Crucible of Man: Something Wicked Part 2, is based. In 2008, a re-sung version of "Setian Massacre" was included on the single "I Walk Among You". Tim "Ripper" Owens' vocals had been re-recorded by the singer Matt Barlow, whom Owens had originally replaced in 2003.

Screaming in agony,
Cries fill the air
Eyes once full of hope
Shedding tears of despair

All that they've ever known is dead

Fire reigns from above,
Iron birds of dread

All that they've ever loved is dead
All that they've ever dreamt is dead

Yet there's a glint of hope,
If the chosen can survive
In secret, the ten thousand hide
East in the mountains,
The chosen bide their time

The Clouding, our strike on mankind

Temples are burning,
Streets soaked with blood
Heed the prophecy,
Destiny is done

All that they've ever loved is dead
All that they've ever dreamt is dead

Yet there's a glint of hope,
If the chosen can survive
In secret, the ten thousand hide
East in the mountains,
The chosen bide their time
The Clouding, our strike on mankind
