E.M.T.E.K.

[Verse 1]

Experiments for the government, I hear they're paying well

I needed the money, all I have is my courage to sell

Inoculations for the benefit of all mankind

A human guinea pig, I've laid my life out on the line

I didn't plan on this misery, this drastic change

[Verse 2]

Organ donor before my death, what a foolish risk

Had suspicions when they hooked the needle to my wrist

Felt the sickness as the fluid gushed beneath my flesh

My peeling skin turns green, at least I can pay the rent

Masochistic nausea I can't chase away

[Chorus]

Transforming, my sight is fading away

Blood cells mutating in unnatural ways

Hair is receding, my skin turns to scales

Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell

[Guitar Solo: Michael Gilbert]

[Verse 3]

Distort the tissue to create the strain

Biological warfare is their fucking game

I've paid the price, the naïve accessory

Cash mutated, I am no longer me

From the labs out to the streets the virus strays

[Chorus]

Transforming, my sight is fading away

Blood cells mutating in unnatural ways

Hair is receding, my skin turns to scales

Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell

No immunization, no antidote to sell

Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell
