Birth of a Beast Lyrics

Rape this world
Shed your innocence

Night- I feel a stirring in my blood
A hunger pulses through my veins
A primal need awakens in me once more
The call of instinct burns
A vicious yearning to address,
Demanding that I heed its wish
Desire reaches boiling in my soul
I’m filled with nothing but this ancient greed
Can reason ever master this?
Can any man defy its grasp?
I push the limits of my self-control
I rage against my very nature
Persistently it fights my will
And urges me to greater heights
I feel the struggle tearing me apart,
Testing the resilience of my strength

I can feel the sickness straining to erupt, burning
Swallow hard and grit my teeth, focus- lean into the pain
I am my own master!

I will not be victimized or held as a thrall
Of animal lust or soul-leeching love
I will tear through the fabric of worthless regret
That obscures my sight and binds my wits
There is wickedness in animal, the evil of the beast
The call of the wild is freedom to sin
I will spend my last torch just to set humanity ablaze
Embrace the creature I was born to be

No chain can be an adequate restraint
Hold me from my chosen path
I own my own destiny
Pain will only fuel my fire
No obstacle will hinder me,
Mere agonies can all be borne
I spit upon your falsely righteous vanity
I piss upon the ashes of my foes
I seek no comfort in this life
I laugh at the allure of love
The strength I have within my hands is fleeting
But the power I truly hold will always be
Your earthly blade will pierce my flesh,
The soil will lay claim to bone,
But the iron in my blood cannot be spilled-
No force can best the essence of my being
