lyrics

Always finding something wrong with me
You can’t quite make out who I am
There’s something burning deep inside of me
And when it comes, it'll take you down

You don’t know what you’re dealing with
But you’re gonna find out in all of this
That you might not make it home tonight
Will you bail or stand up and fight?!

I’ve become the virus
I’m on fire
I’ve become the virus
I’m on fire

Let the darkness take hold of you
Draw it in with open arms
Now half the man you hoped to be
Time again for us to just throw down

I’ve become the virus
I’m on fire
I’ve become the virus
I’m on fire

Free me from this
Sense of self destruction
Free me from this
Free me from myself

You can’t save me, I am the virus
You can’t save me, I am the virus
You can’t save me, I am the virus

I’ve become the virus
I’m on fire
I’ve become the virus
I’m on fire

I’ve become the virus
I’ve become the virus
I’ve become the virus
I’ve become the virus

Dead Swarm Phoenix, Arizona

Founded 2013 in Phoenix, AZ, Dead Swarm’s approach to metal is dark and aggressive, influenced by Six Feet Under, Morbid Angel, Death, and Pig Destroyer. Featuring articulate gutteral lead vocals and a hard-hitting rhythm section, the sound of Dead Swarm is matched by its unsettling lyrical themes--influenced by psychological horror films, ghost stories, and portrayals of human capacity for evil. ... more
