Ebola Virus - Wilt lyrics

[Verse One: Ebola Virus] There's a shadow of gloom that looms over tomorrow From its dismal, abysmal void springs a vast sorrow In the dark corners of our consciousness it haunts us In our greatest conquest its prospect daunts us It is d**h - an integral part of evolutionary mechanics It's the primordial septic phantom that attacks us Our cradle rocks over an ancient abyss Between two eternities of darkness, you and I exist We are fugitives from oblivion racing towards a futurity of obscurity We labor to escape The incubus below that awaits us and pray For a savior as we wilt [Hook: Ebola Virus] We wilt like the ages of our ilk that have vanished We wilt and become ash and silt in the chasm We wilt like petals as the icy winter blooms And retire to the silence that guards the tomb [Verse Two: Ebola Virus] Down the road a doleful knoll tolls and tells a tale Of a prehistoric force to which we ultimately hail There's no Holy Grail to remedy the ruin I'm an organism plagued by a portent of dissolution If you do not seek d**h, d**h will seek you And in your most powerful hour its shadow may besiege you Try to disprove d**h and I suppose that d**h will disprove you And from the world of awareness it will remove you In your architecture its tendrils have bestrewn you The dignitaries of the cloth have only fooled you And we mourn for those who are now bone and clay Quite aware that we are wasting away As we wilt [Hook] No rectitude protects against decrepitude and ineptitude Infirmity's a master that we all surrender to And in the face of approaching deactivation Some choose to lead a life of laziness and dissipation Others are possessed by a sense of urgency and emergency And polish their microscopic window of eternity Some rant and rave Some chant and pray We are all trying to make sense of our decay As we wilt
