About

The Virus of Life, the 13th track on Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), details a man’s obsession with a woman, and through this obsession, stalks and kills her.

He thinks this desire is his virus. Unlike most Slipknot songs, this one is presented in a whisper-like voice.

The Virus of Life Lyrics

[Intro]
Tell me, tell me that you want to
Tell me, tell me that you want to
Ha-ha-ha, shh, wait, wait
Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I can see you, but you can't see me
I could touch you, and you wouldn't even feel me
Wait a second, and you'll settle down
I'm just waiting till you really let your guard down
You're relaxed, you're sublime, you're amazing
You don't even know the danger you're facing
If I'm quiet, I'll slide up behind you (Behind you)
And if you hear me, I'll enjoy trying to find you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been with you all day
I'm trying to stay calm
I'm impatient, and it's really hard to breathe
I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just keep the violence down
Not yet, don't make a sound
Oh, God, I'm feeling it
It's reaching fever pitch
My skin is caving in
My heart is driving out
No mercy, no remorse
Let nature take its course

[Chorus]
Watching, bring me to my knees
Waiting, I am your disease
Lover, set my symptom free
Covered, you can't stop me

[Post-Chorus]
Shh, wait, shh, no
Wait, wait, no
Shh, wait, wait, not yet
No, wait, wait

[Verse 2]
I'm sweating through my veins
I'm trying to hold on
It's unbearable, it's almost worse for me
I'm gonna tear you apart and make you see
Make you see

[Chorus]
Bring me to my knees
Waiting, I am your disease
Lover, set my symptom free
Covered, you can't stop me

[Bridge]
This is the virus
The virus of life
This is inside us
The crisis, the knife
This is the virus
The virus of life
This is inside us
The crisis, the knife

[Verse 3]
It's almost time to play
It's time to be afraid
I can't control the pain
I can't control in vain
Oh, God, I'm ready now
You're almost ready now
I'm gonna love you now
I'm gonna put you down
I see you in the dark
I see you all the way
I see you in the light
I see you plain as day
I wanna touch your face
I wanna touch your soul
I wanna wear your face
I wanna burn your soul

[Chorus]
Watching, bring me to my knees
Waiting, I am your disease
Lover, set my symptom free
Covered, you can't stop me

[Outro]
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
This is the virus!
The virus of life!
