They teach prayers in candlelight halls, while we learn what stalks when the night falls. Steel in our hands, poison on our breath, we hunt the things that cheat their death. We walk where the brave won’t tread, We hunt the things that shouldn’t be fed. And if we look like monsters when the work is done, It’s because to fight fire with fire, we learned to become one. They say we’re cursed, they say we’re wrong, but we’ve been told that for far too long. You call us insane I’ll show you insane. We bleed for the peace you don’t want to maintain. We carry your nightmares, we bury their names, and still you pretend we’re the ones to blame. We protect what innocence remains, Even when innocence forgot its name. Even when kindness has long since fled, we still keep watch where the dead won’t rest. And in our veins, our poison runs deep, we let it sharpen the way that we reap. Blood turned bitter, altered, changed, so we can hunt through the dark they made. No gods came down, no mercy sent, just what our bodies were forced to invent. Night in our eyes, poison in blood, we learned how to breathe in rot and mud. Not heroes, not saints, not clean, not whole just something that keeps the dark from your soul. You call us insane I’ll show you insane. We bleed for the peace you don’t want to maintain. We carry their nightmares, we bury your names, and still you pretend we’re the ones to blame. You call us insane. Good. Because we're insane. No one walks through that dark and stays the same.
