lyrics

THE SOUND OF EXTINCTION

Lurking just over the horizon's Apex, faintly audible,
the sound of extinction draws ever nearer...
Intensifying, the maelstrom constructs
a shadowy vision of impending doom.
Smoldering ruins, riven and cominuted,
the smell of burnt flesh, acrid, fills the sky.
In a deafening cacophony (millions suffering...),
oblivious to their own demise,
an epidemic of affliction, (inch closer to death...),
for this apathy we pay the price.

Doomed.

Subjugated by these chaotic whims, we have all been enslaved.
Caught in the gears of this machinery,
we march in single file to a mass grave.
Rotting away beneath our feet, the reality we know corrodes.
Our grip on morality loosens as we are plunged into the void.
An unseen hand takes us and leads us further down into the abyss
where the perpetual night awaits.
Darkness envelops us, obscures all that we know.
A prison from which there is no escape.

Reduced to our animal selves, preying upon one another as beasts.

Invidious and irascible, born of pure contempt,
breathing in apostasy, exhaling discontent.
Self-infliction of actions so incorrigible,
unredemptive, we must suffer consequence...

Sycophantic, avaricious iniquities govern our actions,
awash in a sea of wretched proclivities we drown.
An age of human twilight descends upon and envelops us,
paralyzing us in the grip of mortal terror.
Blackening the sky, ensuring us there can be no future.
A total eclipse of the long-dying light.
Self-infliction of mortal wounds, suicidal.
Unredemptive, we must suffer the consequences.

about

PARASITIC image

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.
