[Intro] (Distorted screaming, heavy guitar riff, bass drop) I am the nightmare I am the blade I am the silence before the grave Let's go. [Verse 1] I wake up, world is burning, I don't even blink Every word I spit is poison, every thought is ink I been through the dirt, I been through the flames They tried to break my spirit, but I laughed at the pain I got demons in my skull, they scratching at my brain But I turned them into soldiers, now they sing my name Life's a battlefield, I walk with no shield I swing first, strike hard, make the weak kneel You don't know the hunger, you don't know the cold You just talk on the internet, I was born in the fold Every scar on my body tells a story of war I keep coming back, I'm what you're looking for [Chorus] Blood in my veins, fire in my lungs I was born to destroy, I was born to be numb Death in my eyes, pain in my chest Every day is a test, I won't rest I don't need a reason, I don't need a prayer I was built from the shadows, I thrive in despair Bow down or step up — I don't give a damn This is my war, I'm the last man standing [Verse 2] I don't do peace, I don't do love I was made for the dark, made from above They want me weak, they want me gone But I rise every time like the violent storm My words are weapons, my voice is a blade Every verse I write, another empire decays I've been to hell and back, I shook hands with the devil He told me "You're the one" — now I'm on another level I don't trust a soul, I don't fear a ghost I've been betrayed the most by the ones I held close Now I move alone, cold heart, stone face World tried to break me — I took its place [Chorus] Blood in my veins, fire in my lungs I was born to destroy, I was born to be numb Death in my eyes, pain in my chest Every day is a test, I won't rest I don't need a reason, I don't need a prayer I was built from the shadows, I thrive in despair Bow down or step up — I don't give a damn This is my war, I'm the last man standing [Bridge] (Beat slows, distorted bass, heavy breathing) They ask me why I'm so angry... I told 'em: "You wouldn't survive my story" I'm not a villain, I'm not a saint I'm just the consequence of everything I ain't I don't cry no more, I don't bleed no more I just break doors down and settle the score You want peace? Go find it somewhere else I'm the war inside myself [Breakdown — Hardcore screaming] I AM THE PAIN! I AM THE NIGHT! I AM THE REASON YOU RUN FROM THE LIGHT! NO MERCY! NO FEAR! I'VE BEEN DROWNING FOR YEARS! BUT I'M STILL HERE! STILL HERE! STILL HERE! [Final Chorus — Double speed, aggressive] Blood in my veins, fire in my lungs Born to destroy, born to be numb Death in my eyes, pain in my chest Every day is a test, I WON'T REST! I don't need a reason, I don't need a prayer Built from the shadows, thrive in despair BOW DOWN OR STEP UP — I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! THIS IS MY WAR! LAST MAN STANDING! [Outro] (Heavy guitar fading, distorted voice) Last man standing... I told you... I don't break... I don't bend... I just... end. (Heavy breathing, silence)
