IO - Apex Parasite Lyrics

Burn it down to the ground
Before it takes us all
Burn it down
It’s too late to turn back now so
Waste it
We’ve got to kill this thing before it kills us all
And they named this thing the apex parasite

There’s bodies in the basement
The scent of death still haunts these hallowed enchanted falls
Distorting all reality
‘Til you can’t tell the real from the insanity

What the hell have they been doing here
Bioweapon XT6439
Continually evolving, the very apex of a species lost to time

They have created a monster beyond all comprehension
Engineering the extinct to manifest a new form of bioweapon

Looks like they met their end
By this thing that they had designed
Playing with ancient forces
That they didn’t even try to understand

And now that this things let loose
From their own pathetic negligence
We’ve got to clean up this mess
If there’s any hope for a future left

When all of this is dead and buried
When we’ve undone all the wrong
When the place is nothing but ashes
We did what had to be done

What we they expecting
There are some things that man cannot control
This is one of the ancients
The shape of pestilence embodied in a native form

Lock and Load

Burn it down to the ground
Before it takes us all
Burn it down
It’s too late to turn back now so
Waste it
We’ve got to kill this thing before it kills us all
And they named this thing the apex parasite

Terrified and Apoplectic
They didn’t know that it was capable of sensing fear
What began as incidental
Quickly morphed into the reason why it’s still here

Follow the destruction
All the rivers here are stained with so much blood
I can smell all their insides
And all the skeletons it left here in the mud

Driven by instinct and bloodlust
The worst of this is yet to be seen
That thing will just keep on killing
‘Til all of life on earth is wiped clean

I can feel all the horror
The ground bleeds drenched with death from everything that went down
All that’s left is the ancient
And by now it’ll know what we have come here to do

So ready yourselves for the storm
This thing will not go down easily
We’ve got to clean up this mess
If there’s any hope for a future left

When all of this is dead and buried
When we’ve undone all the wrong
When the place is nothing but ashes
We did what had to be done

If we don’t it’ll keep on consuming
Growing larger by the day
And If we don’t we’ll never see our loved ones again
So what do you say?

Die
Foul creature
Die

Kill this wretched thing
We will be the last that it will ever see
Burn this abomination
For the sake of humanity’s preservation

Die
Foul creature
Die

Go back to hell where you came from
