Virus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stress! Alas!
You have to confess
Nothing more and nothing less
Don't you know your time expires?
Fading away, fading away. Another day
Just another link in the chain
Every second's dying in vain
Through the desert sands you're running
Falling again, falling again
[CHORUS]
Is that you're living for?
Is that you're living for?
You run away from sun
Is that you're dying for?
Is that you're dying for?
You run away from sun
With every step it's coming closer
With every day you're getting older
With every mile you're going lower
With every turn you're diving into nowhere
The Virus...
THE VIRUS!!!
Getting higher, insatiable fire
Now your heart's your personal liar
Inner voice is getting louder
SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!
Don't even try to make a sound
But see what you've found
Just a voiceless desert around. Have you ever asked yourself?
WHAT DO I DO?
WHAT DO I DO?
[CHORUS]
Is that you're living for?
Is that you're living for?
You run away from sun
Is that you're dying for?
Is that you're dying for?
You run away from sun.
With every step it's coming closer
With every day you're getting older
And every time you're dying...
