LYRICS:
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

[@MentallyBlind]

Deathcore ain't dead. That's for sure. 🔥

[@howloftheheathen]

This hit every sense. It wasn’t a song, it was a journey. Anger, depression, hope, retribution and acceptance dragged me through in my head whilst the music moved my soul. This is my motivation. I will not weaponise my depression and allow it to take over me, these words resound and help me with that and the continual battle daily; “I will not allow myself to be an animal, all I know is I must subdue the beast.” Those lyrics hit harder than the weight of the world when it all comes crashing down. Don’t let it beat you inside, whatever you’re fighting against you’re better than that and the answer isn’t at the end of a noose or the bottom of a bottle. This is real. I’m there and it’s daily, this is the only thing that’s ever spoke to me about my battle and given me hope. I’ve found what I needed, I didn’t know what it would come to me as, a person, a moment, a feeling or a medium, but it’s come to me as music and I’m eternally grateful for it. I will not stop hearing this daily. You can drag me for this comment, but for a guy whose lost everything he can do to this pandemic bar his life, I’d say it wouldn’t bother me much to hear it. Just know there’s hope. I’ve found mine now. Just fuck Herbalife and pyramid schemes, they’re the real evil.😘

[@tubadude07]

Fuck yeah. Good for you. I love this kind of music for self reflection
