lyrics

WASTING DISEASE
Disavowed from the afterlife, spurned from eternal rest,
consciousness floods anew into this rotting corpse
avulsed from the moldering crypt, reanimate, I claw forth…
Self-exhumed, mud caked and maggot infested
Encased in a shell of leathern skin
Craving human flesh
Hunger pangs, irrepressible, I must kill to slake this thirst
Strength is imbued at the scent of prey,
Flows into limbs with homicidal rage.
Tearing open body cavities, upon innards and organs I shall feast.
Showered in blood as fresh meat is rended apart.
Insatiable sanguinary lust.
Feast. Feast.
I will consume the wretched human scourge.
Shambling amongst the shadows to feast once more,
Glinting teeth tear through organs and sinews
Gorging until nothing remains…
Risen with predacious taste for human flesh,
Sentenced forever to roam this world undead
An aberration, blight on humanity, living nightmare.
Cursed to prey on man, indiscriminate.
This wasting disease

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.
