Iced Earth - Parasite lyrics

It rises from dormant slumber Drains life from the host in hunger Seeding its 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 In the dark it drains our energy Devouring for its own need Vigilance will fight the parasite Prevent its 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 corruptions Embrace with a new beginning These wounds are healing This strain has lifted In the dark it drains our energy Devouring for its own need Vigilance will fight the parasite Prevent its roots from settling Our minds and bodies strengthening Flush the poison from existence
