[Verse 1] (low brooding baritone) Underneath the skin I wear Something old is turning raw Tied the shadow to a chair Fed the hunger through the jaw (tense, building presence) Carve the porcelain off the face Watch the fractures pull apart Buried deep inside this place Breathing right behind the heart [Chorus] (explosive, raw aggressive belt) Strip the cage and face the terror Look into the cracked black glass Call the phantom from the mirror Let the bitter venom pass (screamed, sustained notes) Torn away, torn away! Let the buried nature speak! [Verse 2] (hushed rhythmic delivery with grit) Pushed the parasite away Still it coils around the spine Bleeding into cold decay Every single fault is mine (tension rises, gritty rasp) No more hiding in the light No more running from the stain Feed the malice to the night Drink the residue of pain [Chorus] (crushing heavy impact, screaming belt) Strip the cage and face the terror Look into the cracked black glass Call the phantom from the mirror Let the bitter venom pass (distorted sustained scream) Torn away, torn away! Let the buried nature speak! [Bridge] (hypnotic dynamic build, polyrhythmic chant) (whispered) Untie the knot. Release the claw. Untie the knot. (rising volume and aggression) Break the frame! Break the frame! (full-throat sustained scream) STEP ASIDE AND LET IT THROUGH! STEP ASIDE AND LET IT THROUGH! [Chorus] (maximum dynamic assault, full power vocals) Strip the cage and face the terror Look into the cracked black glass Call the phantom from the mirror Let the bitter venom pass (screamed harmony) Torn away! It's tearing through! [Outro] (growled rasp) Left with what was deep inside. (spoken dry) Nothing left to hide.
