[Verse 1 – Awakening] Awake in stone, the chains are gone, I rise through echoes of a world withdrawn. Don’t know how long I slept in dark, But blood and ash ignite the spark. Broken halls, alarms and flame, The stench of death, the cursed name. Demons screech — I know that sound, No questions left, I stand my ground. [Pre-Chorus] Something stirs beneath my skin, A purpose lost — but rage within. [Chorus] I AM AWAKE — and the hunt begins! Flesh will tear and metal sings! Voices plead, but I don't kneel — I crush, I burn, I do not feel. I AM AWAKE — to bring them low, To silence hell with every blow. No path, no fate, no heaven’s grace, Only the fury they can't erase. [Verse 2 – UAC and Descent] They call it science. They called it gain. But I see only the hunger, the stain. Mars is gone, consumed in vice, Hell opened wide… and paid the price. Doctor HAyden speaks, his words like steel, “Humanity needs the fire you wield.” But I serve no throne, no hollow creed — I am the weapon. I am the need. [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere deep, a shadow calls, A face I’ve never known — yet recall. [Chorus] I AM AWAKE — and war is law! I fight through teeth and techno-claw! Cathedrals bleed beneath my tread, Where cyber-fiends and tyrants bled. I AM AWAKE — I’ve seen their lies, The maker’s throne, the angel’s guise. I’ll raze the stars to reach the core, To end what started long before. [Bridge – Earthfall and the Slayer’s Crusade] Now Earth weeps under demon reign, A billion screams — one endless pain. And still I march, through fire and flesh, Through ruined time and worlds afresh. The gods, the priests, the ancient fire, All tremble at a wrath entire. I am not hope. I am not light. I am the judgment they could not fight. [Verse 3 – The Real Enemy] But still — the voice behind the veil, Not demon, nor machine, nor angel pale. He waits beyond, where echoes scream, A shadow born from Slayer’s dream. The final gate. The mirror breaks. My enemy — the form I take. He smiles like me. He knows my past. He is the first… and I am the last. [Final Chorus – Revelation] I AM AWAKE — for this one war! Not for Earth, or gods, or blood and gore! I walk this path to slay the sin — The beast that bears my face within. I AM AWAKE — to end the lie, To face myself, to fall or rise. No fate remains, no path to run… Only the devil… …and I am the gun. [Outro] [Stripped Back] [Whisper] You feared the Slayer. You feared the end. But the final demon… was always him.
