Black Virus Lyrics

In darkened streets it’s lurked
And so

In darkened streets it’s lurked
Crossed miles of anguish
leagues of pain

In darkened streets it’s lurked
Unchanging as the sun
It’s weathered aeons
And so

if we are self-aware
This is the time for introspection
Time to open our crusted eyes

Embrace the ownership
Realise it’s our creation
Accept the rightful blame
Confront the wrath

Our hatred and contempt
will condemn us to death

Feels like it’s soaking in
This base infection
is breaking through the skin
It manifests again
Consumes until
there’s nothing to live for
Corrupted soul within

No soul within
Prejudice is no use to me
Can do nothing with detestation
Indoctrination can’t break the will
No soul within - Inside
Can't break the will

Feels like it’s soaking in
This base infection
is breaking through the skin
It manifests again
Consumes until
there’s nothing to live for
Corrupted soul within
No soul within

As society’s wounds begin to fester
Hatred born of ignorance
gives way to pain and suffering
To honour the wounded and fallen
We must end this scourge now

Spreading the lies
and attacking the helpless
Another chapter in our history
Holding out for a change of direction
Redeem our legacy

We’re gonna wipe this scourge out

Solo: Ollie Roberts (Metaprism)

Feels like it’s soaking in
This base infection
is breaking through the skin
It manifests again
Consumes until
there’s nothing to live for
Corrupted soul within
No soul within
