lyrics

Ichthyosis

visions of alien vistas haunt my dreams

cyclopean, hewn not of human hands

labyrinthine, monolithic, foreboding

stirring in darkness, its denizens call to me...

eyes awake from fitful sleep, head swimming

otherworldly murterings resound through my mind

echoing memories
forgotten, forsaken by time

deep within my being, something is awakened...
...inside me
the onset of change erupts and I welcome its arrival

antediluvian voices beckon from below

to bestow upon my crown a diadem of immortality

beneath the churning waters, in the lair of the deep ones

consanguinity awakens in me -becoming one of their kind

ichor of the ancients nows through me

this metamorphosis is nearly complete

their presence tangible, as they lie in wait

with outstretched arms' this eldritch homecoming

i have become one with my destiny,

my true heritage manifest as one of the old

the rules of mortals no longer govern me

that which was imprisoned, has been unleashed

i step away from my humanity's last vestige, for iam reborn

in ageless, unending glory

descending beyond the furthest reaches of the reef, into the abyss

to live devoid of any trace of mankind, in dark regality

basking in the brilliance of the emerald glow of eternity

to live beyond the reach of sickening human filth

among insects, a god.

"we shall dive down through black abysses...

and in that lair of the deep
oncs we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory forever.

about

PARASITIC San Diego, California

Parasitic is an American death metal band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2004, the group is known for their blast beats with short groove/break down riffs with virulent double bass drumming that are a highlight to the more complex down tuned riff structures. The ugly monstrous vocals are thundering, harsh and convey lyrical topics such as misanthropy, endtimes and the human condition.
