Law of the Jungle

Are you painfully aware of the silence that falls around you
And the shadows that creep up your walls
Are you terrified that ghosts from the past have found you
Can you hear them whisper in the dark

Hackles raised, frozen in place, a chill creeps down your spine
Gossamer covering your face, the worm of dread crawling in your mind
Loss of feeling, body heavy, you've stepped into the realm of fear

I was born covered in crimson, I'll go out the same
The clock strikes the hour of violence
Black blood boils in my veins

I dream in red and blue
My body lacerated and bruised
All the pain I have felt
I'll inflict on you

Dull my senses
Numb my fingers
Distorted lenses
Torture lingers

Forgive not an enemy, waste not time
I'll show no mercy, won't turn my back to your knife
Fear and abandonment by the likes of you
Mental mutilation for a clearer view

The law of the jungle says kill or be killed
So step up to my face
Face my rage motherfucker

Sacrifice my soul
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Shed my human skin
Just to quench my bloodlust
