[Intro — spoken, deep, slow] They told you to soften up... Sit down. Shut up. Feel your feelings. [Pause] Nah. This is the awakening. [Verse 1] Men went soft in the age of comfort Warm beds, cold spines, no hunger Traded the hunt for the scroll and the screen Traded the war for the dopamine dream But the blood don't lie, the bone don't forget Every man alive got a beast in his chest Chained up, muzzled, told to be nice 'Til the day he snaps and he pays the price [Pre-Chorus — building, chanting] Wake it up. Wake it up. Feel the fire in the gut Wake it up. Wake it up. Stone, steel, blood, and dust Wake it up. Wake it up. Stone, steel, blood, and dust [Chorus — anthemic, loud, layered] BRING BACK THE PRIMAL BRING BACK THE STRONG Men were made for the hunt, not to be enslaved BRING BACK THE FIRE BRING BACK THE CLAW Weak men die — strong men AWAKEN [Verse 2] They sold you peace but they gave you numb A hollow man with a comfortable thumb Scrolling, coping, never quite living Taking, never giving, never quite winning But the old code lives in the marrow and the spine Discipline, brotherhood, pressure and grind Iron and sweat and the will to endure That's the cure. That's the cure. [Bridge — half-time, tribal drums, chant] Stone. Steel. Blood. Bone. Stand alone. Stand alone. Stone. Steel. Blood. Bone. You were never meant to be disposable. [crowd shouts] RISE!! [Verse 3 - higher male voice, spoken rap] Awaken the wolf that they buried in you Awaken the father, the king, the warrior too Not cold — just rooted, not cruel — just clear A man who can love and a man who can fear And still stand tall when the world caves in That's the primal. That's the win. [Chorus — repeat, bigger] BRING BACK THE PRIMAL (Yeah~!) BRING BACK THE STRONG (Yeah .. yeah) Men were made for the hunt, not to be enslaved (Break the chains!) BRING BACK THE FIRE (Burnin' bright) BRING BACK THE CLAW (Roar like the tiger!) Weak men sleep — strong men AWAKEN [Outro — spoken, fading, deep] The awakening ain't loud. It's quiet. Then it's thunder. Wake up, man. (wake up!) (wake up!) [spoken word] "You're PRIMAL!"
