Parasite lyrics

It rises from dormant slumber

Drains life from the host in hunger

Seeding it's evil

Manipulation

Disguised, masking true intentions

Truth lies in its own reflection

Burrowing deeper

Spreading infection

It grows, swelling in the darkness

Feeding on the host and weakness

Feeling exploited

Our path in turmoil

[Chorus]

In the dark it drains our energy

Devouring for its own need

Vigilance will fight the parasite

Prevent it's roots from settling

Our minds and bodies strengthening

Flush the poison from existence

[Bridge]

Inside

It burrows

Divides

It tears us

No more

Destruction

Shifting

New victim

Defeat, cast away corruption

Embrace with a new beginning

These wounds are healing

This strain has lifted

[Chorus]

In the dark it drains our energy

Devouring for its own need

Vigilance will fight the parasite

Prevent it's roots from settling

Our minds and bodies strengthening

Flush the poison from existence
