Memphis May Fire - Virus Lyrics






I feel it sinking in
It's underneath my skin
Straight through my blood into my bones
I taste it on my tongue
This poison fills my lungs
But I won't let it fill my soul

'Cause I know

When I fight
I remember why I'm still alive
I'm holding on to what is left inside
'Cause you're just a virus
And I didn't come here to die

Virus!

You make me question if
I wanted to exist
You were the venom in my veins
But now I see the truth
The enemy was you
My time will come but not today

'Cause I know

When I fight
I remember why I'm still alive
I'm holding on to what is left inside
'Cause you're just a virus
And I didn't come here to die

With open eyes I see the light
My spirit comes alive
I'm holding on, my will is strong
I know I will survive
The end is near, I will not fear
No reasons left to hide
The veil is gone, I'm moving on
I'm taking back my life

When I fight
I remember why I'm still alive
I'm holding on to what is left inside
'Cause you're just a virus
And I didn't come here to die

You're just a virus
You're just a virus
You're just a virus
And I didn't come here to die

Virus!
Virus!

  8. Z.... ....

    That's fucking perfect!

  9. D.... ....

    Ty dolla $ign brought me here

  10. d.... a....

    when skillet goes metalcore .... nOISEEE

  11. F.... ....

    I like the song because of the lyrics, I got a virus 10 years ago and still battling, so i'm happy that there's a song for when I'm sick and tired of it.
    (I won't turn in to a zombie any time soon...)

  12. D.... R....

    Resident Evil 2 Remake 7 days away boys!

  13. S.... m....

    I want those drums

  14. g.... ....

    sucks now wtf go back to how you were fucking tried of these bands going to shit

  15. K.... ....

    I just wanna know how the guy with Matty got infected

  16. R.... ....

    Im new here .is this a Christian band

  17. C.... P....

    Its a good song. Well written.

  18. R.... R....

    Another beautiful song. :)

  19. R.... M....

    Regardless of how their music sounds like since Matty Mullins became part of the band, it's very inspirational.👍🤟❤️💪👌

  20. S.... ....

    thx to ty dollar sign

  21. B.... S....

    This is so fucking amazing, it sounds like my middle school days again.

  22. d.... p....

    they went a bit "alt. metal" with this song and hard rock

  23. J.... G....

    Jesus, people! Aren't they allowed to do a different sounding song once in a while? It's good to hear Matty just sing once in a while, I'm sure they won't make a habit of it.

  24. R.... D....

    Ty Dolla Fav band 😎

  25. B.... B....

  26. h.... ....

    I appreciate bands doing what they want, experimenting, etc. That being said, I didn't enjoy This Light I Hold, the songs sounded fairly lackluster and generic, and all the lyrics largely sound the same now ("the man I wanna be", "Who I was meant to be", songs about not agreeing with how the music industry works [Carry On for example]) and often sound preachy (nothing against their religion, it's just a common theme that wasn't there in the beginning)

    MMF can do as they wish, but they lost something to me, and even though this is a stand alone, it has a lot of the same issues. The Hollow was amazing, Challenger was dope, and their southern rock flare was a refreshing addition. They're not the same.

  27. M.... L....

    Can't get enough of this song, I love it to peices, I think this my Virus lol. 😆

  28. R.... K....

    Awesome song! Keep at it!👍

  29. T.... ....

    THAT GIRL WITH THE BLOND HAIR IS THE SAME GIRL THAT APPEARS ON THE MOVIE RAMPAGE ?

  30. D.... J....

    Love this, no matter if they're southern metal, metalcore or whatever this is, MMF stays awesome

  31. S.... O....

    ty dolla $ign brought me here

  32. F.... R....

    Loved how technical the band was, back when The Hollow and Challenger were there most recent albums. Now this is just boring, feel like all they've got left are shitty lyrics.

  33. C.... C....

    Ty dolla $ign sent me here?

  34. A.... ....

    Memphis May Skillet.

    All memes aside i love this band and the direction they're taking? bruh i'm 110% down with this.

  35. C.... B....

    Ugh, the guitars give me FFDP vibes, the lyrics are too similar to Skillet while adding an entire vibe of Papa Roach
    Guys what is this.

  36. k.... m....

    This song is only a one off an wont appear on the next album...so everyone can calm the hell down

  37. d.... ....

    I'm just starting to get into Memphis may fire and I think this is a fine song. You don't always have to go heavy all the time. Clean songs are a nice change of pace every now and again

  38. T.... ....

    Sorry, but this is whack compared to what other bands in this genre are doing.

  39. J.... R....

    Estoy loco o este wey sonaria bien chingon en Linkin Park?

  40. T.... ....

    who let them put this out

  41. M.... K....

    Memphis Linkin Amaranthe Fire?

  42. H.... ....

    Do the bodies still haunt your dreams?
    True memphis fans will get this

  43. F.... ....

    Memphis may 5fdp fire

  44. c.... ....

    It's really sounds too artificial. I like when Memphis makes sophisticated sounds but here there's no balance. Not even a bit organic.

  45. M.... P....

    Memphis skillet death roach

  46. L.... B....

    Perfect song

  47. Y.... M....

    I like the song, but the guitar tone is rubbish :u

  48. T.... E....

    All the hate for this song. Get outta here if you don't like it. It's a single. Just because they release one different sounding song doesn't mean that's their new sound. Quit being negative.

  49. X.... ....

    amazing song found with spotify

  50. B.... S....

    I LOVE THIS SONG!

  51. J.... G....

    Why are you guys throwing away so much talent?

  52. B.... S....

    Obviously everyone must have just forgot that there has been multiple collaboration efforts with Matty and Papa Roach and Jacoby and MMF....It should not come as a surprise that they are sounding so similar

  53. Q.... c....

    The guitar sounds sound like digital shit. Try analog.

  54. z.... ....

    Five finger death much?

  55. A.... G....

    I am final stage kidney failure and this song is amazing

  56. A.... H....

    Jjinjja daebak

  57. A.... V....

    This is fire

  58. T.... ....

    I think this is the end. This sounds so generic, it's awful, the replay value of this song is zero. I was expecting so much more.

  59. T.... :....

    Reminds me of Linkin Park and Skillet. I love it!

  60. A.... B....

    This is bad

  61. D.... G....

    28 Days Later May Fire

  62. B.... F....

    This is great. Matty Mullins has always written engaging lyrics and this is no exception. The entire sound is very derivative however, sounding exactly like Disturbed's Immortalized album.

  63. L.... A....

    this is awesome!

  64. R.... J....

    Not even 1million views.... Go back to the shit that gave you over 1million, easy! Sorry Memphis, you've been one of my fav bands for a long time, and I'm all for bands going in a different direction, but this was NOT the way to go. Go back to the heavy shit!

  65. D.... R....

    Memphis Hellyeah roach finger death punch fire

  66. D.... V....

    Are they still together ???

  67. N.... D....

    Slayer and would be proud

  68. S.... ....

    I’ve followed Memphis since their first ep. always going to love songs like the sinner and sleepwalking plus cowbells making a comeback. But this song is fuckin awesome. Bash it if you want. They will bring the heavy stuff back every band does. But for right now for those of you who can’t actually sing or scream worth a damn just jam along and “keep your mouth shut, just keep your mouth shut. Ignorance, ignorance..”

  69. k.... ....

    Wow from The Hollow to this. What a shame. I understand trying new things but why would you abandoned the sound that made you big lol why i don't listen to this music anymore because its all radio bullshit now

  70. d.... b....

    NEED TO BLOW UP

  71. D.... H....

    I’m not gonna say it’s bad music, because people can have their preferences. Some people think this is good and that’s great. Me personally... I don’t know how a band puts out an album such as The Haunted and progress into something like this. It doesn’t seem like much progression at all.

    I’m really trying not to be a hater when saying what I am... cause I respect other people to look at this music from a different light... but there is no way possible they’re putting as much effort into their music as much as they had once before.

  72. D.... ....

    If you like old MMF like the hollow then I would recommend Chelsea grin

  73. E.... J....

    This shit is lit 🎧

  74. S.... W....

    LMAO @2:39 "Gary"
    Its gary you guys ! He doesn't feel very well!

  75. C.... M....

    Is that Trump written on the garbage can at the end? :D Love it.

  76. T.... ....

    A darker direction in terms of theme, but way lighter music

  77. n.... c....

    This sounds like the band "nothing more" more than it does memphis may fire.

  78. i.... g....

    I had heard of memphis for 6 years and kept putting off listening to them as i was still experimenting with other bands but listening to this song... they have just gained another fan

  79. K.... Z....

    Guys... Whoever thought that they mastered this track can go to school again. 1:13, to the end... WTF ...(Why the F*%^) keep that epic_nesssssssss so low?

  80. J.... R....

    This new Trapt song is great.. can't wait for them to tour with avenged sevenfold and volbeat.... come on boys smh

  81. C.... B....

    I'm just gonna say that the likes for the video WAY out number the dislikes. This was powerful and 'generic sounding' or not your heart cannot deny that,stay vigilant friends,God Bless.

  82. I.... D....

    Great workout song

  83. M.... Y....

    My cousin was named after this band. We named him Memphis.

  84. A.... M....

    demasiado genérico, su tope fue Challenger y de ahí solo empezaron a bajar la calidad

  85. D.... ....

    how did i just now find this? :o waaat haha

  86. E.... ....

    Really dope track.

    Reminds me on Skillet and Papa Roach. I approve of this.

  87. M.... ....

    The dislikers probably meant "Dis' i like"

  88. B.... C....

    Cirus The Virus

  89. M.... S....

    New MMF= Skillet with nasty leads

  90. S.... W....

    Personally, I like this song, and tbh, I don’t really care if the music sounds like most mainstream rock bands. Just give me rock and metal and I’ll enjoy it one way or another. Great song

  91. S.... N....

    Everyone in the comments hating the song, and this song is the first one I've heard from them and I love it.

  92. P.... P....

    As a true fan of MMF, I say that this song is still awesome. There's nothing wrong to change things up every once in a while.

  93. M.... F....

    They use a riff done by the Canadian progressive band Portal.

  94. N.... B....

    I came because of a certain wide body wrx
