Necrotizing Fasciitis "Lyrics"

[feverstone]

Here's my deciphering of the NF lyrics.

(Make it sound nasty)

Necrotizing Fasciitis!
Destroy!
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
Destroy darkness
Escape the grave, Devouring flesh
Embrace the plague
Destroy Darkness, Escape the Grave
Devouring Flesh, Embrace the plague
Necrotizing Fasciitis
Embrace the Plague

I'm not 100% sure that this is it, so feel free to throw in your corrections.

Also, Jason screams the words "Necrotizing Fasciitis" in the song and may or may not scream 53 other words.

This word count is 35, so Seth may or may not have have been messing with us. :P

Muchos Gracias!


Necrotizing Fasciitis!
Yeah!
Destroy!
Destroy!
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
??Lowering?? Darkness
Escape the grave, Devouring flesh
Now Embrace the plague
??Lowering?? Darkness, Escape the Grave
Devouring Flesh, Now Embrace the plague!
Yeah!
Necrotizing Fasciitis
Embrace the Plague

Yeah, the lowering/destroy darkness part is what I'm not really sure about. It also sounds like "Avoid darkness."

I also didn't catch that "Now" part. xD

Lyrics and explanation are:

Necrotizing Fasciitis
Destroy, destroy, destroy
Born in darkness
Escaped the grave
Devouring flesh
Now embrace the plague
Necrotizing Fasciitis

The lyrical concept for this song is short and sweet. Necrotizing Fasciitis means flesh eating bacteria, which fits the aura of the song perfectly -- it is nasty. However, as is often true of great songs, there is an underlying metaphor in the text. In this case, the plague is Jesus. Kind of a dark metaphor huh? Well may, but the idea is very simple. Flesh, or more specifically the sinful nature of carnal self, is something that all humans struggle with, and Christ is the only true power for defeating that sinful nature. And so, we cry out for Him to infest our bodies and devour our flesh. EMBRACE THE PLAGUE!
