[Verse 1] Gold smile cracked like stained glass Cape in the gutter Boots on the throat They carved a slogan in my statue But they don't know what wakes below my coat Crowds chant a name that tastes like rust I wear the lie I wear their trust Then the wind cuts sharp through concrete And the whole damn city goes hush [Pre-Chorus] There it is On the air Honey over blood Calling me [Chorus] I smell my fate in the open sky Razor-sweet Burning in my lungs tonight Inner wolf claws at these borrowed bones Howling for a throat A touch A home You are written in my nerve and vein Marked in the marrow Carved in flame I'm the broken symbol Crowned in hate But I'll tear this world to reach my fated mate [Verse 2] Sirens wail like distant prayers Heroes swarm like painted fleas They don't see my hackles rising Don't hear the growl under my teeth Your scent threads through the ash and iron Warm rain cutting through the smoke Every step I take It sharpens Every breath I steal I choke [Pre-Chorus] There you are Out of reach Sugar over storm Driving me [Chorus] I smell my fate in the open sky Razor-sweet Burning in my lungs tonight Inner wolf claws at these borrowed bones Howling for a throat A touch A home You are written in my nerve and vein Marked in the marrow Carved in flame I'm the broken symbol Crowned in hate But I'll tear this world to reach my fated mate [Bridge] [Half-time Guitars lurch and ring] They called me peace I am the hunt They gave me oaths I give you blood Knees in the dust Hands on the cage Every pulse you spark Fan-fuels my rage Alpha crown Twisted steel Every rival Cracks and kneels When I find you When I claim Every hero Chokes your name (yeah) [Breakdown] [Drop into brutal chugs and gutturals] Scent on the wind Set me loose Feral Fevered Rip these chains Mine to guard Mine to break Mine to worship Mine to take [Chorus] I smell my fate in the open sky Razor-sweet Burning in my lungs tonight Inner wolf claws at these borrowed bones Howling for a throat A touch A home You are written in my nerve and vein Marked in the marrow Carved in flame I'm the fallen idol Prince of rage And I'll burn this world to claim my fated mate
