beast mark

They thought I was sleeping. They thought the cage was permanent. But you can’t tame what you didn’t create. Look at the skin... see the ink? That’s the Beast Mark. ​[Verse 1] ​I’m the glitch in the garden, the thorn in the rose I’m the shadow that grows when the curtains all close Step in the arena, hear the rattle of the ribs I’m a thousand miles away from the nursery and cribs. I don't walk, I prowl; I don't talk, I roar I’m the heavy-booted phantom kicking down the front door Got the scars on my knuckles like a map of the war And I’m hungry for the spirit, yeah, I’m coming back for more. I’m a different breed of animal, a chemical defect I don’t ask for the crown, I just take the respect See the mark on my shoulder? It’s a brand, it’s a seal It’s the only thing about me that’s a hundred percent real. ​[Chorus] ​You can’t wash it off, you can’t hide the scar It doesn’t matter who you think you are It’s the Beast Mark—etched in the bone King of the jungle, but I’m sitting on a throne. Yeah, it’s the Beast Mark—heavy is the weight I’m the master of the hunger, I’m the captain of the fate Keep your distance when the moon starts to rise You can see the mark glowing in the middle of my eyes. ​[Verse 2] ​I’ve been forged in the furnace, I’ve been tempered in the ice I’m the kind of nightmare that you don’t encounter twice They try to put a leash on a hurricane wind But I’m the definition of the original sin. I see the fake predators sitting on the fence Their "tough guy" act is looking really dense I’m a silverback moving through a paper-thin city I don’t show mercy and I don't feel pity. The adrenaline is pumping like a piston in the chest I’m the final evolution, I’m the ultimate test Trace the lines on my skin, read the legend of the pain I’m the thunder and the lightning and the acid in the rain. ​[Bridge] ​(The beat slows down even further. Sound of breathing, heavy and rhythmic.) Left side... (Marked) Right side... (Marked) Deep inside... (Beast) (The beat builds up with a rapid-fire snare roll) I’m not trapped in here with you... YOU’RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME! ​[Chorus] ​You can’t wash it off, you can’t hide the scar It doesn’t matter who you think you are It’s the Beast Mark—etched in the bone King of the jungle, but I’m sitting on a throne. Yeah, it’s the Beast Mark—heavy is the weight I’m the master of the hunger, I’m the captain of the fate Keep your distance when the moon starts to rise You can see the mark glowing in the middle of my eyes. ​[Outro] ​(Sound of concrete cracking. The heavy horn blares one last time.) Marked for greatness. Marked for destruction. It’s in the DNA. Beast Mark. (Low growl) Stay back.
