Story Behind the Song
The song is about the spreading of diseases, mainly focusing on STDs as some of the lyrics suggest. "Cloaking the dagger beneath a tempting fantasy," this tells of a beautiful, tempting woman or man, that has a STD. "Leading the weak into submission," this means that the man/woman is having sex with someone who doesn't know about the STD, and spreading the disease to them.
This may sound like strange content for a song, but this happens every day in America.
Lyrics
Disease, spreading inside
I can not live, I will not die.
Idiocy, stupidity in humanity
It will never end,
Leading the weak into submission,
Cloaking the dagger beneath a tempting fantasy,
Tricking the mind and dominating the body.
Falling down because of this madness,
What once was my life is now a mess,
I feel my strength weakening,
Devoured by this plague that wracked my
body, this penalty.
Finding a cure is a far away vision,
Coughing up blood because of this world we
live in,
Searching for light at the end of the tunnel,
I give up and give in, but disease can't take
my soul.
Disease will not take my body,
I will fight to the end,
I'll not be tricked again.
