Linea Aspera - Malarone

He’s a protozoan, he’s just a filthy protozoan.

The roads are dry and dusty and we’re taking in the scenery.
Waving to the people in the fields;
this is life to me, as far as the eye can see,
and you are dead to me.

I was twisted up in Cwezi shrines and you were the anomaly,
a conceited disease.
Time spent in foreign lands is a cure, it seems,
and it triggered a change in me.

This is an unfamiliar strain, I have no immunity.
Ravenous and unrelenting, pathogenic and parasitic.

This is unclean and it has to be treated.
Parasite in the bloodstream: this is unclean,
and he’s feeding, he’s been feeding on everything.

The roads were dry and dusty, we were taking in the scenery.
Waving to the people in the fields;
this was life to me, as far as the eye could see,
and you were dead to me.

He’s just a filthy protozoan.
