[Intro] [Heavy, rhythm like a heartbeat] [Sound of wet tearing and metal scraping] [A wolf howl] [Whispered] "It’s starting..." [Music hits hard] [Verse 1] The fever starts in the marrow, a boiling, black oil My humanness is a garment that has begun to spoil I hear my radius snap—a dry branch in the dark As the skeleton uncurls to find a deadlier arc My teeth are shifting like tectonic plates in the jaw Everything I used to be is now raw... raw... RAW! [Chorus] It’s not a change; it’s a violent erasure A glitch in the blood, a debt paid to nature The skin is a canvas that’s ripping in two To let the red, wet stranger push his way through Don't pray for my soul while the vertebrae move I’m being unmade... one scream at a time! I become something New. [Verse 2] Fingerprints peeling off like wet, gray lace As the snout erupts through the center of my face The smell of my own copper blood is a drug While the muscles knot up with a sickening tug My eyes roll back till the whites turn to gold The heat in my veins is dark, ancient, old I’m a heap of wet gristle on the bathroom floor I don't recognize my own hands anymore! [Bridge] [Wolf growl] [Tempo slows down, heavy distortion] Click. Pop. Tear. The sound of a man becoming a beast Snap. Crunch. Grind. Leaving the logic of humanity behind The moon is a spotlight on a butcher’s display And I am the beast... that is walking away! [Guitar Solo - Violent and Chaotic] [Wolf howl] [Chorus] It’s not a change; it’s a violent erasure A glitch in the blood, a debt paid to nature The skin is a canvas that’s ripping in two To let the red, wet stranger push his way through Don't pray for my soul while the vertebrae move I’m being unmade... one scream at a time! I become something new [Growling] [Bridge 2] Long claws dark as night Black fur Sharp fangs that bite Red eyes that glow in the night Through the pain the horror the gore [Spoken darkly] I awaken to hunt once more [Outro] (Music cuts to a low, vibrating hum) The stitching has failed The beast has exhaled There’s a ghost in the fur where a person once stood... [Long, distorted wolf howl] [Guitar hits hard then fades slowly] [End]
