The Virus of Life
I can see you but you can't see me
I could touch you and you wouldn't even feel me
Wait a second and you'll settle down
I'm just waiting 'til you really let your guard down
You're relaxed, you're sublime, you're amazing
You don't even know the danger that you're facing
If I'm quiet, I'll slide up behind you
And if you hear me, I'll enjoy trying to find you

I've been with you all day
I'm trying to stay calm
I'm impatient and it's really hard to breathe
I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me
Just keep the violence down
Not yet - don't make a sound
Oh, God I'm feeling it
it's reaching fever pitch
My skin is caving in
My heart is driving out
No mercy, no remorse
Let nature take it's course

Watching - bring me to my knees
Waiting - I am your disease
Lover - Set my symptom free
Covered - You won't feel a thing
You can't stop me

I'm sweating through my veins
I'm trying to hold on
It's unbearable, it's almost worse for me
I'm gonna tear you apart and make you see - make you see

Watching - bring me to my knees
Waiting - I am your disease
Lover - Set my symptom free
Covered - You won't feel a thing
You can't stop me

This is the virus, the virus of life
This is inside us, the crisis, the knife
This is the virus, the virus of life
This is inside us, the crisis, the knife

It's almost time to play/it's time to be afraid
I can't control the pain/I can't control in vain
Oh God, I'm ready now/you're almost ready now
I'm gonna love you now/I'm gonna put you down
I see you in the dark/I see you all the way
I see you in the light/I see you plain as day
I wanna touch your face/I wanna touch your soul
I wanna wear your face/I wanna burn your soul

Watching - bring me to my knees
Waiting - I am your disease
Lover - Set my symptom free
Covered - You won't feel a thing
You can't stop me

This is the virus, the virus of life

Pulse of the Maggots
I fight for the unconventional
My right and it's unconditional
I can only be as real as i can
The disadvantage is I never knew the plan
this isn't just a way to be a martyr
I can't walk alone any longer
I fight for the ones who can't fight
and if I lose, at least I tried!

We are the new diabolic
We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
We are the pulse of the maggots

I won't be the inconsequential
I won't be the wasted potential
I can make it as severe as I can
Until you realize, you'll never take a stand
It isn't just a one-sided version
We've dealt with a manic subversion
I won't let the truth be perverted
And I won't leave another victim deserted

We are the new diabolic
We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
We are the pulse of the maggots

(Do you understand?) Yes

Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)

We fight 'til no one can fight us
We live and no one can stop us
We pull when we're pushed too far
And the advantage is, the bottom line is
We never had to fight in the first place
We only had to spit back in their face
We won't walk alone any longer
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger

We are the new diabolic
We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
We are the pulse of the maggots

(Do you understand?) Yes

Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)
