Inveterate Disease Lyrics

Fetid breath from the mouth of a beggar"As I am now, so you will be"

Born upon unhallowed cursed ground

Foundations built upon a mire

Inherently corrupted, spreading disease

Rising from beneath the concrete

A dove shot down, in the middle of Broad Street"Is this what happened to us, Is this what happened to me?"

They ask ask their pus-secreting hands begin to bleed

Spiritual grime, a filth unwashable

Pollution ingrained upon the soul

Spreading from beneath the city

And shining down from the streetlights

Disease inflicted by a place

Corruption running down the power lines

No-ones coming for you in the pit in that basement

Plague in a bag, on the back of every garbage truck

Illness leaking in the wake behind

Affliction found down the alleyway, and along the sidewalk

I was looking for a sign, I found it in a burned down cornerstore

A unquenchable, undying thirst for death, self inflicted

Faces white, stricken with disease

Smiling finally underneath that sheet, bathed in blue and red light"As I am Now, So You Will Be"
