lyrics

I got a sting to the brain
To ensure I obey
It makes me forget
That I should run away
Sever my antenna
And lead me to my doom
I am the host, I am the womb

This is a necessary end
Devoured from the inside out
This is a necessary end
For the love of fate
I accept my place

Alive and entombed
This parasite will bloom
This is my fate
The end is coming soon
For I have been chosen
I have been blessed
Feed on my body
And lay me to rest
