Abney Park - Virus lyrics

It feeds in the souls of the living, And gets inside their minds. It transforms their brains and their longings, No consciousness it will find. It feeds on their fears and emotions, As it has for two thousand years. It's infected the Hindus, infected the Buddhists, And kept them all in tears. If you're dead, it will keep you alive. And if you're alive, it keeps you nearly dead. It forces the body to seek uninfected, And gets inside their heads. Once your brain is infected, It changes what makes you pleased. It forces your body to seek uninfected, And add them to the diseased. In this way it creeps slowly All across the lands. But the wise and the strong can still join forces, Defending our last stand If you're dead, it will keep you alive. And if you're alive, it keeps you nearly dead. It forces the body to seek the uninfected, And gets inside their heads.
