Pestilence Lyrics

Cover art for Pestilence lyrics by Faceless, The

Some world of people is suddenly hit with a disasterous disease. It's effects are devastating as well as intensely violent and graphic....it's completely unexpected. Life, whatever it was beforehand, has completely shifted into this horrifying terror and it nothing can really stop it. Everything that once was, is now diminishing into chaos before the blink of an eye.

I think the chorus...."A bastardized version of man which cannot be reversed...." simply means that man is now hopeless to this plague and there is nothing that can be done. Everything that slowly dies awaits death and once dead, a sickness is spread to everything of the opposite.

I think the meaning of this song briefly touches on the fact that everything we have can go bad within a second and, in some cases, it can be intense and violent....not quick and easy.
