Parasite Lyrics

the parasite lives inside us all, it feeds upon ignorance and fear
creating a lust for power and a need to control
mankind's quest for power has led us to this end
a world teetering on the brink of destruction
where smoke fills the sky, and lies poison our minds
sadly, the meaning of power has become corrupted and misconstrued
for without respect, it means nothing and without love, it means nothing
to walk on the backs of the weak
is this what true strength is to you?
power is not the strength to control that is a lie
and if these words will fall on deaf ears
then action must be taken soon
for if there's a time to make a change, it is now
there's a chance for redemption, parasites live inside us all
feed them fear, feed them love
on one they feed, the other they starve
it's all the same you say? it's not the same to me
for there is a point to all we do; life has a point
for we're not alone in this place
but the meaning is shrouded in fear
for it takes true strength to open your heart, and open your mind
the parasite grows and it feeds
it feeds on our ignorant fear
the parasite planted
its seed inside us all
and how do we fight this disease?
will love and respect conquer fear?
or will a change call for a fight?
this is war...
