"Host" lyrics

Ages of existence, born within mankind
An entity unseen, its potency unmatched
It multiplies and takes control, rapid in its advance
Its touch so slight, its grasp forever

Through ember and flame, its hidden presence spreads
Forcing its way in, no fortress can hold it back
Viral pestilence, aggressive and unchecked
Caressing the masses one by one, the world falls prey

Raging feral armies progressing swiftly across the globe
Its faceless hosts, a legion born to carry forth its seed

Billions infecting billions, expanding kingdom grows
Living sickness thrives, corrupting one and all

Through songs of praise and prayers in vein, through miasma darkened skies
Swallow whole this sacrificial host and choke on our demise
Body and blood
This host carries on
