Parasite
ICED EARTH · Plagues Of Babylon 2014 · Track 10 of 12
Written by Jon Schaffer, Stu Block, Troy Seele
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 strenghthening 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 it's own need Vigilance will fight the parasite Prevent it's roots from settling Our minds and bodies strenghthening Flush the poison from existence
