Parasite

Iced Earth

It rises from dormant slumber 
Drains life from the host in hunger 
Seeding it’s evil 
Manipulation

Disguise, masking true intention 
Truth lies in it’s own reflection 
Burrowing deeper 
Spreading infection

It grows, swelling in the darkness 
Feeding on the host and weakness 
Feeling exploited 
Our path in turmoil

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

Inside 
It burrows 
Divides 
It tears us

No more 
Destruction 
Shifting 
New victim

Defeat, cast away corruption 
Embrace with a new beginning 
These qounds are healing 
This strain has lifted

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
