Parasite

It rises from dormant slumber Drains life from the host in hunger Seeding it's evil Manipulation Disguised, masking true intentions Truth lies it's own reflection Burrowing deeper Spreading inflection 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 it's 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 wounds are healing This strain has lifted In the dark it drains our energy Devouring for it's own need Vigilance will fight the parasite Prevent it's roots from settling Our minds and bodies strengthening Flush the poison from existence --- Parasite - Iced Earth
