Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here, kindness ends
Weakness dies, trust myself
No one else
Never bow, never break
So I tap into the savagery
[Verse 2]
I have become
Instinctive
I have become
Instinctive
[Verse 3]
Like an animal
Untamable
I have become instinctive
Like a savage
Barbaric
I have become instinctive
[Verse 4]
Come with me down the abyss
Where shadows spawn from emptiness
I must transform to shed this husk
New urge to fulfill my slaughterlust
I sacrifice to dominate
My savage nature now unleashed
Breath swift and sharp against clenched teeth
Animal intuition empowers me
[Verse 5]
Transform, shed this husk
Must fulfill my slaughterlust
Transform, shed this husk
Must fulfill my slaughterlust
[Verse 6]
Here, kindness ends
Weakness dies, trust myself
No one else
Never bow, never break
So I tap into the savagery
[Verse 7]
I have become
Instinctive
I have become
Instinctive
Like an animal
Untamable
I have become instinctive
Like a savage
Barbaric
I have become instinctive
[Verse 8]
Tap into the savagery
Tap into the savagery
[Verse 9]
I am unhinged, I terrify
I'd rather die than toe the line
Do what I must, fight to survive
Primitive bloodlust fills my mind
My vision's clear, my instinct strong
I am the vicious one
Inclination to destroy
Like a savage with carnage in his eyes
[Verse 10]
Transform, shed this husk
Must fulfill my slaughterlust
Transform, shed this husk
Must fulfill my slaughterlust
[Verse 11]
Unleash the savage instinct
Savage
Instinct
Unleash
