The Aberrant Host

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
