The Aberrant Host - Nailed To Obscurity

Storm clouds gather on a moonlit night

Wind blows through his hair

Just like it does to shake the leaves

And bring them down

Pushing the unavoidable decline

Both his feet placed on the ground

But his legs, fragile and weak

Roots, once they grounded

A base that’s going numb

A lethal parasite

Through all these years

It hid inside

A life threat

Unnoticed symptoms

The truth will be unearthed

It beset an aberrant host

The moon above

Blinding his weary eyes

He feels his scars, his resin blood, his splintered bark

All of them hurt

Like they were inflicted just now

His tired arms and the aching limbs

All his strength withers away

Ungracious cycle of nature

All things come to an end

A lethal parasite

Through all these years

It hid inside

A life threat

Unnoticed symptoms

At least it will die too

It beset an aberrant host

A lethal parasite

Through all these years

It hid inside

A life threat

This is the swan song

For vermin and host

This lethal parasite

A death warrant

Already signed

Both die

A strong dependence

Mortal, ill-disposed

The aberrant host
