Ebola Virus - Wilt [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse One: Ebola Virus]
There’s a shadow of gloom that looms over tomorrow
From its dismal, abysmal void springs a vast sorrow
In the dark corners of our consciousness it haunts us
In our greatest conquest its prospect daunts us
It is death - an integral part of evolutionary mechanics
It’s the primordial septic phantom that attacks us
Our cradle rocks over an ancient abyss
Between two eternities of darkness, you and I exist
We are fugitives from oblivion racing towards a futurity of obscurity
We labor to escape
The incubus below that awaits us and pray
For a savior as we wilt

[Hook: Ebola Virus]
We wilt like the ages of our ilk that have vanished
We wilt and become ash and silt in the chasm
We wilt like petals as the icy winter blooms
And retire to the silence that guards the tomb

[Verse Two: Ebola Virus]
Down the road a doleful knoll tolls and tells a tale
Of a prehistoric force to which we ultimately hail
There’s no Holy Grail to remedy the ruin
I’m an organism plagued by a portent of dissolution
If you do not seek death, death will seek you
And in your most powerful hour its shadow may besiege you
Try to disprove death and I suppose that death will disprove you
And from the world of awareness it will remove you
In your architecture its tendrils have bestrewn you
The dignitaries of the cloth have only fooled you
And we mourn for those who are now bone and clay
Quite aware that we are wasting away
As we wilt

[Hook]

No rectitude protects against decrepitude and ineptitude
Infirmity’s a master that we all surrender to
And in the face of approaching deactivation
Some choose to lead a life of laziness and dissipation
Others are possessed by a sense of urgency and emergency
And polish their microscopic window of eternity
Some rant and rave
Some chant and pray
We are all trying to make sense of our decay
As we wilt
