Cryptopsy - Cleansing The Hosts lyrics

rate me

Led to the family by the LordI had no choice but to overtakeThe Mother's roleBut that little one was always testing meAllowing others to question my authorityShe was guiding them towards a life of sinI decided she could burn if she wanted toBut I wasn't going to let her take the others with herI have removed the presence of evil twice beforeMy own blood impureWas simply unacceptable a soft pillow sufficedTo smother little ones before the demonsHad their chance to escapeBut this one was differentI have never seen the devilPut up such a fightWe had tried to vanquish itOnce beforeBut sadly the host-body gave outAnd set the parasiteBack on it's courseIt kept quiet for a few weeks after thatAnd she seemed calmer and more obedientBut as with all sicknessesSubtle hints of the diseaseSnuck up and reappearedBefore long she was back to her old waysSo we reinstated the hot iron and rodBut our late nights educating and reformattingWere once again interruptedBut from this there was no returnComatose in her bedBefore the presence finally leftA child died as two more grew within meHer Father and I were arrested on the church stepsAs we emerge with our fellow mournersWe have been paraded through the media ever sinceBut our silent ploy has been kept forever a secretSince it left this world with us when we ascended
