Code:Red - Poisoned Minds lyrics

Mankind has been at war with the virus from the start
Sometimes, millions of people die, as in an actual war
Fungi seem harmless enough
Many species know otherwise
Because there are some fungi who seek not to kill, but to control
Any one of them could become capable of burrowing into our brains
And taking control not of millions of us, but billions of us
Billions of puppets with poisoned minds permanently fixed on one unifying goal
To spread the infection to every last human alive by any means necessary

Well, now there is reason to evolve

There's a fungus that infects insects
Gets inside an ant, for example
Travels through its circulatory system to the ant's brain
And then floods it with hallucinogens
Thus bending the ant's mind to its will

And there are no treatments for this, no preventatives, no cures
They don't exist
It's not even possible to make them

Billions of puppets with poisoned minds permanently fixed on one unifying goal
To spread the infection to every last human alive by any means necessary

So, if that happens
We lose

Well, now there is reason to evolve

We lose
