Текст песни
I remember duty, honor, pride, the uniform I wore
But in the park, no foe awaited, just a primal roar
A snarl, a bite, a burning fang, the world went black and cold
And then the fever burned my bones, a story to be told
It broke my frame, it tore my flesh beneath the ice-cold moon
My first cry was a cry of beast, coming way too soon
Nobody asked if this was what I wanted for my life!
Now I'm a man and I'm a beast, living in endless strife
This burning rage, my loyal hound, my own steel chain to bear
I'll rise to be the first of them, and end this whole despair!
They came for me when I was down, was howling at the brink
Said Brother, you are one of us, before I could even think
They threw me in the fighting pits, for cheering crowds to see
I was their weapon and their leash, drowning in agony
Nobody asked if this was what I wanted for my life!
Now I'm a man and I'm a beast, living in endless strife
This burning rage, my loyal hound, my own steel chain to bear
I'll rise to be the first of them, and end this whole despair!
I see the pain deep in their eyes,
The same damn role, the same disguise
Not a human, not a beast,
Just something lost, with no release
An ancient tome, a dusty page, forgotten artifact
The ancient power rushed through me, a broken, binding pact
No longer just a wolf, but now a Progenitor, a god
I'm the one who writes the law on this blood-soaked sod
I am the Alpha, their beginning, their hatred and their fear
And the taste of vengeance on my fangs is ever so clear
