[Verse 1]
A distant hum
Cuts right through the sky
Calling my attention, I look up
I can't believe my eyes
Thousands and thousands
They're hungry for our minds
They're biting, eating and controlling
Anything they find

[Pre-Chorus]
Coming down from behind
They've got no care for our kind
See the world bending down
On it's knees

[Chorus]
Run, but you can't hide
Blood, coming from inside
My mind, doesn't know wrong from right
Parasite

[Verse 2]
A million more
Coming after me
They thrive on insecticide
They live on DDT
No poison can defeat
The never ending swarm
They'll eat you from inside out
You'll wish you were never born
[Pre-Chorus]
Coming down from behind
They've got no care for our kind
See the world bending down
On it's knees

[Chorus]
Run, but you can't hide
Blood, sucked from inside
My mind, doesn't know wrong from right
Parasite

[Guitar Solos: Gary Holt / Rick Hunolt]

[Verse 3]
Now they're living in my brain
I'm destroying at their cue
A violent reaction starts within
And now I'm after you
I'll grab you by your head
And split your skull open wide
The infestation is complete
You're dead but yet alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Coming down from behind
They've got no care for our kind
See the world bending down
On it's knees
[Chorus]
Run, but you can't hide
Blood, sucked from inside
My mind, doesn't know wrong from right
Parasite
