Jabberwocky by The Hallowed Catharsis Lyrics
The archaea commands me. I am a slave and a host
I am terrifyingly self-conscious. I fear that my mind is now lost
I am no longer in control of decisions. Influence devours my soul
Emboldened I must try to save them. But a part of me wants them dead
The others! Anxious handshakes and scared greetings exchanged
My hands secretly secreting toxins to spread the archaea
Now I speak only gibberish. Now they are feverish
Jabberwocky! Hosts for archaea
See the jaws that bite! Beware the claws that catch! Jabberwocky!
The dragon is painted on the inside of my eye
I lay writhing on the floor, sweating blood; it is colourful
It's vibrancy lets me express my decay
In a fetal pose with my head in my hands
I am falling faster and faster into the madness
As the Earth's director of science flew back home
She was beleaguered by the Jabberwock
Soaring beside her escape vessel. She was pierced by the Vorpal Blade
So sick. She's dying. Crash landing inevitable
She becomes one with the mountain face
Photosensitive neurotoxins. She climbs up and up towards the sun
Decaying flesh stringing to her bones, she ascends the boulderous cliff
Overlooking the research facility below, the archaea breaks down all her proteins
The end of her climb and her physical being
She digs her hands and feet into the stone ledge
She is liquified. Mercilessly. Her friends are climbing up to save her
She literally rains down, dooming them all
I am terrifyingly self-conscious. I fear that my mind is now lost
I am no longer in control of decisions. Influence devours my soul
Emboldened I must try to save them. But a part of me wants them dead
The others! Anxious handshakes and scared greetings exchanged
My hands secretly secreting toxins to spread the archaea
Now I speak only gibberish. Now they are feverish
Jabberwocky! Hosts for archaea
See the jaws that bite! Beware the claws that catch! Jabberwocky!
The dragon is painted on the inside of my eye
I lay writhing on the floor, sweating blood; it is colourful
It's vibrancy lets me express my decay
In a fetal pose with my head in my hands
I am falling faster and faster into the madness
As the Earth's director of science flew back home
She was beleaguered by the Jabberwock
Soaring beside her escape vessel. She was pierced by the Vorpal Blade
So sick. She's dying. Crash landing inevitable
She becomes one with the mountain face
Photosensitive neurotoxins. She climbs up and up towards the sun
Decaying flesh stringing to her bones, she ascends the boulderous cliff
Overlooking the research facility below, the archaea breaks down all her proteins
The end of her climb and her physical being
She digs her hands and feet into the stone ledge
She is liquified. Mercilessly. Her friends are climbing up to save her
She literally rains down, dooming them all
