"The Thing (1982)" lyrics

An ancient danger
Frozen in time
Unearthed by inquisitive minds
An evil life-form, devious design
An imitation
In man it dwells
No one the wiser, who can tell?
Born again into another living shell

Parasitic death
Paranoid eyes
Find in who the virus hides
Find in who The Thing resides

Back to the wall (trust departed)
The Thing is transmogrified

No one can see it
No one can feel it
The safest place to hide is man
Eradication is the masterplan
If I'm an imitation
How would you know?
Eternal spawn begins to grow
Matter of time until the planet is completely overthrown

Parasitic death
Paranoid eyes
Find in who the virus hides
Find in who The Thing resides

Surrounded by the enemy
Surrounded by friends
Reunion
Of the spirit and the flesh

Cells multiply
Malformed humanoid
Shifting the blame
Set the thing aflame

An ancient danger
Frozen in time
Unearthed by inquisitive minds
An evil life-form, devious design
An imitation
In man it dwells
No one the wiser, who can tell?
Born again into another living shell

Back to the wall (trust departed)
The Thing is transmogrified
Attack, consume, enthrall (life uncharted)
The Thing is personified

Parasitic death
Paranoid eyes
Find in who the virus hides
Find in who The Thing resides
