Shadow Parasite Songtext
von Catalysis

I eat your pain
To make me feel alive
I am a carnivorous monster
Who feeds only on the dark
The substance of your inner, the sinner, the weak and the withered
The broken and the beaten, the lost and the defeated

I am the monster
Dressed as your saviour
Like a predator hidden in the shadows
I follow and wait for your weakness to show
I consume you just like a parasite
Fill myself with all you hate about you


So the cycle repeats
And I feel even more alive
Every ounce of you I consume
I learn to despise in me
In you and in everything I do
All I see, what is and is not real
Your pain becomes my pain, your hurt becomes my gain
Everything you fear is what I drain

I lurk in the shadows
Of your emptiness
I feast on your despair
On your loneliness
This shadow parasite I have become
Hidden from the light of the pure one
It lives to feed on your pain
Only over the broken will I reign

I′m shadow
Light's shallow
Shrouded face
Your pain awaits my embrace
For I am weak
The embodiment of sin
It′s hard to bring to an end
That which I did not begin


Like a predator hidden in the shadows
I follow and wait for your weakness to show
I consume you just like a parasite
Fill myself with all I hate
I lurk in the shadows
Of your emptiness
I feast on your despair
On your loneliness
This shadow parasite I have become
Hidden from the light of the pure one
It lives to feed on your pain
Only over the broken will I reign

As I live, I must die
Killed by consumption of the poison that kept me alive
Greed is my weakness
The indulgence of the meek's cold bleakness
Something blinds me
The same thing that binds me to this horror
As you see me
When you know I'm there I′m as quick gone

I′m shadow
Light's shallow
Shrouded face
Your pain awaits my embrace
For I am weak
The embodiment of sin
I cannot end
This again

I lurk in the shadows
Of your emptiness
I feast on your despair
On your loneliness
This shadow parasite I have become
Hidden from the light of the pure one
It lives to feed on your pain
Only over the broken will I reign

I am the monster
Dressed as your saviour
I feed on loathing
Your light eroding
I am the monster
Dressed as your saviour
Reduced to ashes by your light
I am a shadow parasite

Shadow parasite
Killed by your light
Shadow parasite
Killed
By your light
