[Intro — deep Southern baritone, nearly spoken; lone dirty banjo over distant industrial machinery] I been beaten... I been broken... Dragged so low Hell had to reach down... And you know what? Hell shouldn't have Let me out... [Verse 1 — sludge-folk banjo crawls beneath a dark-techno pulse] I went down with blood in my teeth... Boot prints pressed in my back... Every pretty promise I'd been given Turned out hollow... Turned out black... I learned real quick Who'd stand beside me... When there weren't no glory left... How a crowded fucking room Gets empty... When you're dancing With death... [Pre-Chorus — distorted kick begins hammering] So don't come smiling now... Don't come kissing my ass... Don't tell me how proud you are Like you weren't praying I'd collapse... I don't need your praise... I don't need you... If you couldn't give a fuck When I was burning... Get the fuck outta my way... [Chorus — massive doom kick, distorted banjo and industrial synth wall] I WENT THROUGH HELL! CAME BACK BRIGHTER! Beat me down... I got meaner... Break my bones... I build 'em stronger... I don't need your empty praise! Your plastic love! Your two-faced grace! Give me truth... Ugly... Raw... And honest... That's all... I'll burn... Everything Else!!! [Breakdown — banjo riff doubled by downtuned guitars; guttural backing screams] BURN! Every lie! BURN! Every line! BURN! Every mask you hide behind! [Verse 2 — deep baritone over mechanical groove] See... I can forgive a hard truth... I can respect "I don't give a damn." At least I know... Where I stand... I know... Who you are What you think... But spare me that sweetened bullshit... That sugar dripping off your tongue... Don't call me brother When the room is full... Then disappear When the hurting comes... I ain't asking you to worship me... Ain't asking you to stay... Just look me dead In these dead eyes... And mean... What... You... Fucking!!! Say!!! [Pre-Chorus — whispered menace building toward screams] 'Cause Hell taught me something... Pain molded me more... I'd rather have one honest enemy... Than a hundred! Fake! Motherfuckers!!! At my door!!! [Chorus — larger, screamed layers answering the baritone] I WENT THROUGH HELL! CAME BACK BRIGHTER! Beat me down... I got meaner... Break my bones... I build 'em stronger... I don't need your empty praise! Your plastic love! Your two-faced grace! Give me truth... Ugly... Raw... And honest... That's all... I'll burn... Everything Else!!! [Instrumental — frantic clawhammer banjo collides with industrial techno; distorted kick accelerates, metallic impacts and cybernetic noise tearing through the mix] [Bridge — everything abruptly drops except banjo and low male voice] Thought Hell Would finish me... Nah... Hell... Forged me. Took the frightened man That crawled through the gates... Broke him... Burned him... Beat every last illusion Outta his fucking head... Then something crawled back up... With horns... A new face... Fire in his lungs... And no goddamn need... To love... People... Who don't... Deserve!!! ANYTHING FROM ME!!! [BUILD — doom kick returns like approaching artillery] So hate me... But mean it. Love me... But prove it. Leave me... Don't fucking fake it. Tell me the truth... And we'll be alright. Give me anything less... And watch... It... IGNITE! [Final Breakdown — screamed gang vocals, distorted banjo, crushing metalcore guitars] [Outro] No more... Saving face... No more... Two-faced grace... No more... Lies... Because the truth is... [Low growl] Hell made me... Love the fire... EeeeeehAhhhhhhh!!!
