Contagion Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jaws - dripping with disease
Fingers for use of weaponry
Mind spins in fervor of murder's design
Unleashing our buried primal desires

[Verse 2]
Return to instincts we had lost
Our blades shall speak with eloquence
What human words cannot

[Verse 3]
Terror - a world of terror we create
Maddening howls fill the streets
As further spreads the plague

[Verse 4]
Gone - the affinity to modern man
Wavering faith falls to ravenous hands
Unbridled malevolence reaches a boil
As strivings of mankind dissolve into fire

[Verse 5]
The will to conquer suffocates
A trail of shredded carcasses
Our morals dissipate
[Verse 6]
Now the end's drawing nearer
Upheaval is at hand
Animalistic biddings
A reverse evolution of man

[Verse 3]
Terror - a world of terror we create
Maddening howls fill the streets
As further spreads the plague

[Verse 7]
Children - we are the children of the beast
Instinct counters reasoning
Our rage shall be unleashed

[Verse 8]
The dreams of man engulfed in fire
This world a heap of burning flesh
The end is baring down upon us
The god of mortals lying dead

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
