[Verse 1 ] She tracked the beast through broken timber, Footprints deep with fury’s weight... The mission warned it's “crazed and starving,” But the details didn’t fit quite straight... And when she found it in the clearing, Eyes like coals that would not dim... She saw no hunger in its trembling, Only hatred, raw and rimmed. [Chorus] Woah, I read the mission brief, Expect snares and sharpened teeth... But when reality collides… Wooah, It cuts you down to size... [Verse 2] A careful step, a breath held steady, A mind that tried to read the truth... Doubt pushed her where the ledges hide, Watch the ground began to slide... She slipped, as earth gave way beneath her, Tumbling down the shale and dust... And still the wolf, defying gravity, Leapt after with a killing thrust... [Chorus] Woah, I read the mission brief, Expect snares and sharpened teeth... But when reality collides… Wooah, It cuts you down to size... [Bridge] You can study every warning, You can walk the line just right... But the planet has a heartbeat And it bites back when it likes... [Verse 3] Beneath magenta skies they landed, Crushed by stone and stolen breath... The world went still around their body, Twisted by the cliff’s cold theft.... Beside her lay the wolf that followed, Hatred spent in one last dive... Its final snarl fading slowly, As the light drained from its eyes... [Chorus] Woah, I read the mission brief, Expect snares and sharpened teeth... But when reality collides… Wooah, It cuts you down to size...
