Lyrics

Insect Royalty

Free fall to violence, few reach the soul
Jagged metal bad life, few reach the soul
I'm a host, I'm a host, I'm a host, I'm a host to the sucker disease
Parasites, parasites, parasites, parasites, parasites in me

Insects royalty live inside of me
Insects royalty live inside of me
Insects royalty bleed inside of me
Insects royalty bleed inside of me (yeah!)

Mess with the perfume will get the disease
I know you'll die if you don't dream
Feel the heat, feel the heat, feel the heat, feel the heat, feel the heat in me
A demon seed, demon seed, demon seed, demon seed, demon seed in me

Insect royalty live inside of me
Insect royalty live inside of me
Insect royalty bleeding inside of me
Insect royalty bleeding inside of me

Insect infect, insect infect insect
Insect infect, insect infect insect
Insect infect, insect infect insect
Insect infect, insect infect insect
