Spreading the Plague Lyrics

My body is wracked with a virulent infection
My mind is rotting to waste
The mirror holds a total stranger to my eyes now,
What is this creature I face?
I am a prisoner, shackled to this sickness
Unsure that I could live freely again
With every moment it grips me further,
I feel it growing within

And there is no respite in dreams
I only envision it digging deeper
With each step the plague spreads in me
With each step I’m spreading the plague
And there is no respite in dreams
Each is a presage that symptoms strengthen
With each step the plague spreads in me
With each step I’m spreading the plague

I did not foresee or recognize the danger
My situation had posed
Once it takes hold, there is no escaping
I am strapped in for the ride
Now I’m becoming a constant threat to all
Of this communicable disease
And when I place my ill hands upon you,
I know the visions you’ll see
