"Animal" lyrics

"Animal"

Wrath and bloodlust
Born from the trauma and experience
An amalgamation of hate and malice
The beast within longs for carnage
To set its teeth in flesh endlessly
An amalgamation of hate and malice
May it run rampant with a hatred and a wild joy

Don't let go of what's left of your humanity
Blood must flow
I will not allow myself to be an animal
All I know is I must subdue the beast
Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release

Why am I subject to torment?
Was it not enough for me to bleed?
(To bleed?)
I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me
(By me)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I won't retreat
I will not fall to a world that's up against me

Desperate men do desperate things
Disrupted vision creates a reflection of only darkness
I hear them calling
The ones who long for death
They gave into desire and now they have nothing left
(They have nothing left)
Now is this the fate that has chosen for me?

So don't let go of what's left of your humanity
Blood must flow
I will not allow myself to be an animal
All I know is I must subdue the beast
Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release

Why am I subject to torment?
Was it not enough for me to bleed?
(To bleed?)
I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me
(By me)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I won't retreat
I will not fall to a world that's up against me

When I'm done they will fear me forever
This is the cleansing, this is the purge
I will stand, I will not concede
I will not falter and I will not retreat

This is my struggle
This is the fate of the branded one
(The branded one)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I will not retreat
I won't fall to a world that's up against me
This is the fate of the branded one
