The Nature of the Beast Lyrics

So come one and come all to the crumbling walls of our city
Now painted with red
As the stench of defeat emanates through the streets
Is the life we once dreamed of now dead?But we won't break, we will fight
We will storm through the night
Enslaved to their game nevermore
With the locks on our cage broken off by the rage
Now it's time to settle the scoreWe are the frayed, we are the torn
We are the beaten and the scorned
And now you've forced the beast to bare its teethWe'll come in droves like animals
Hungry to reclaim our control
As we fight to bite the bitter hand that feeds
We are the frayedBeyond the barricade, oh, can't you hear that sound?
The march of tortured souls screaming
"Burn this place to the ground!"The pack you played for fools, the herd you led astray
Now run the slaughterhouse, welcome to Judgment DayYou'll pay in blood as your retribution
So let's gather at the gallows for the execution
And when the new day dawns upon our master plan

Just hold your rifles still and then wait for my commandWe'll kill like savages 'cause we're unbreakable
But what did you expect?
We're fucking animalsThough what good is it to find the same sad solution?
Another power hungry biased fucking institutionWe took the fort, we stormed the gates
But what kind of crooked paradox did we create?
We took the fort, we stormed the gates
But became the very thing that we hateWhere is the end? What have we done?
We're what we swore we'd not become
Despite intent a noble heart still bleeds
Time goes on and history repeats
