Lyric

Fatal parasites of biological elegance

Ancestral nightmare of the immune system

Genomic absurdity, lethal extravagance

Registered by the registry office with a literary lemma

We've been churning out replicants since primordial times

And we've seen things the human eye ignores

Blade Runner was the copy, and we were the originals

And perhaps Philip Dick is still gnawing

Viruses of every sort and specialization

Threadlike scribbles or spherical agglomerates

Assembly lines of bio-replication

Amorphous, helical, composite, and polyhedral

Multiform ticks that proliferate on the swindle

Monsters spawned from the darkest nightmares

That suck the life from your system en masse

And live by expedients, eating other people's bread

Fraction of a micrometer and biological vacuity

Inside a comfortable protein casing

Always We protect, with eschatological faith

The essence of the "deoxyribonucleic" prodigy

Changeable in form, seemingly harmless

More indolent in summer, more energetic in winter

But give us a vector and enough time

And we will throw open the gates of hell

Viruses of every sort and specialization

Thread-like scribbles or spherical agglomerations

Bio-replication assembly lines

Amorphous, helical, composite, and polyhedral

Multiform ticks that proliferate by freeloading

Monsters spawned by the darkest nightmares

That suck the life from your system en masse

And live by their wits, eating other people's bread

But you, who quote us with derision and contempt

Have, in fact, bypassed us for a long time now

We are unaware, we are the Antiheroes

We are simple genetics

You are the viruses!

Viruses of every sort and specialization

Threadlike squiggles or spherical agglomerates

Bio-replication assembly lines

Amorphous, helical, composite, and polyhedral

Multiform ticks that proliferate by freeloading

Monsters spawned from the darkest nightmares

That suck the life from your system en masse

And live by their wits, eating other people's bread
