Songtext von Ophidian Forest - Cordyceps

From the kingdom of the fungi comes this evil spore Dwelling in the Amazon it lives forever more Endoparasitical, as it invades its host And like a sly assassin, causing terror like a ghost A particular and most aggressive evil variant The Unilateralis Cordyceps is not a friend Spores that are inhaled advance towards a certain kill It causes ants to zombify and let them do its will Crawling in disorientation victims of this skulk Their non-vital soft tissues being eaten by the bulk Time comes, the mycelia network readies its parade It soon enters the brain and then it seals its ugly fate Climbing up a stem like a convict the guillotine The mycelia gets the ant where it wants to be seen And when it causes mandibles to anchor at the top The cordiceps will burst the skull - to harvest and to crop And finally the killer spore is breeding for a while A matter of some days and then it will proceed in style The fruiting bodies, sporocarps, appear and rupture, then The spores spread forth their plague and soon contaminate again! From the kingdom of the fungi comes this evil spore Dwelling in the Amazon it lives forever more Endoparasitical, as it invades its host And like a sly assassin, causing terror like a ghost
