[Intro] Waves threw me on black sand shore Rusted hull, poison sky above No rescue came, only the door To the lab that forgot love [Verse 1] They found me half-dead in the foam Carried me through steel corridors cold White coat man with eyes like chrome Promised cure for a world grown old He spoke of shaping flesh anew Meld man and beast to outlast the fall No gods to judge what he’d do Only survival – that was all [Chorus] In the cages they scream, half-human, half-night Stitched together under flickering light Law of the blade, law of the pain No escape from the maker’s chain Broken laws bleed into the rain New breed rising, nothing remains [Verse 2] They walk on two legs, but eyes betray Fangs in smiles, claws in prayer He carved his gospel day by day “Pain is the path, progress the prayer” I watched them learn the words he taught “Be more than beast, be more than man” But hunger woke what reason brought And mercy died where the scalpel ran [Bridge] One night the locks gave way Blood on white tiles, red display He screamed commands they would not obey The created turned, took him away [Chorus] In the cages they scream, no longer confined Tore down the walls of his twisted mind Law of the fang, law of the claw No maker left to enforce it all We crawl from the ruins, neither one nor the other Hybrid shadows under dying mother [Outro] I walk the ash fields alone now Half what I was, half what they made The island is gone... but the howl Lives in the blood, won’t fade...
