[Intro] [Heavy distorted bass riff, slow drum build] I tried to bury it... deep inside. But it's scratching... under my skin. [Verse 1 - Gritty and Tense] I tried to bury the beast below But it’s clawing back, it won't let go Every siren wakes the storm again Old demons rising, my oldest friends I’m losing grip, I’m losing hold Anger's pulling me out of the cold I thought I changed, I thought I won But chaos brings me back to what I've done [Pre-Chorus - Rising Tension] I feel the fear begin to rise A hollow echo behind my eyes I know this feeling all too well... [Chorus - Explosive and Powerful] I’m taking up arms again Even if it tears me up inside! I’m becoming the thing I dread Just to save what's left, with nowhere to hide! I didn't choose this war to fight But I won't break, I'll stand and ignite! Even if it breaks me down! [Verse 2 - Driving Rhythm] The streets are burning like a memory My footsteps lead back to the enemy I thought I left this hell behind But the war speaks a language I can't unbind I feel the beast, I hear the roar My hands are shaking, I’m back at floor I never wanted to be this man But I won't let them fall, I’ll do what I can! [Pre-Chorus 2 - Aggressive] I feel the fear begin to rise But this time, I’m the one who decides! I'm holding the leash! [Chorus - Explosive and Powerful] [Bridge - Slow then Heavy] (Music strips back to bass and drums) If I must return to the shadows... Then let it be... let it be... (Guitars crash in) I’m not running from the ghost I see! The beast and I, we walk as one! UNTIL THE DAMAGE IS DONE! [Chorus - Maximum Intensity] I’m taking up arms again Even if it tears me up inside! I’m becoming the thing I dread Just to save what's left, with nowhere to hide! I didn't choose this war to fight But I won't break, I'll stand and ignite! Even if it breaks me down! [Outro] (Heavy bass riff returns) Even if it breaks me down. The beast and I... [End]
