The Nature Of The Beast
Ice Nine Kills Lyrics

So come one and come all to the crumbling walls of our city, now painted with red
Inviting everyone to the broken walls of the city that has red-colored bloodstains

As the stench of defeat emanates through the streets is the life we once dreamed of now dead?
The smell of loss prevails throughout the streets, questioning if the life that we once aspired is now shattered.

But we won't break, we will fight, we will storm through the night -enslaved to their game nevermore
We won't give up, we'll continue to fight throughout the night, and we won't be slaves to anyone anymore.

With the locks on our cage broken off by the rage now it's time to settle the score
The locks of our cage have been shattered due to anger, and now it's time to take revenge.

We are the frayed, we are the torn
We are the damaged and ripped apart.

We are the beaten and the scorned
We are the ones who have been defeated and humiliated.

And now you've forced the beast to bare its teeth
You have forced us to reveal our dangerous side.

We'll come in droves like animals Hungry to reclaim our control As we fight to bite the bitter hand that feeds
We'll come in large numbers like hungry animals, trying to gain back control, and fight against those who tried to dominate us.

Beyond the barricade oh can't you hear that sound? The march of tortured souls screaming, "Burn this place to the ground"
Beyond the barricade, can't you hear the sounds of tortured souls marching, demanding to burn this place to ashes?

The pack you played for fools, the herd you led astray Now run the slaughterhouse, welcome to Judgment Day
You led the pack of fools astray, and now you're facing your judgment in the slaughterhouse.

You'll pay in blood as your retribution So let's gather at the gallows for the execution
You'll face the consequences with bloodshed. 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 command
When the new day begins with our plan, hold your rifles steady and wait for my command.

We'll kill like savages ‘cause we're unbreakable But what did you expect? We're fucking animals
We'll kill ruthlessly because we're tough to break. What did you expect from us? We're brutal animals.

Though what good is it to find the same sad solution? Another power hungry biased fucking institution
What is the point of discovering the same incomplete answer? Another biased institution hungry for power.

We took the fort, we stormed the gates But what kind of crooked paradox did we create?
We conquered the fort, we stormed the gates, but what kind of hypocritical situation have we created?

But became the very thing that we hate
We have become the same thing that we despised.

Where 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
Where will it lead us? What have we accomplished? We became what we promised we wouldn't. Noble hearts continue to ache despite intentions. Time passes, and history repeats itself.

We are the frayed
We are those who are split.

We are the frayed
We are those who are torn apart.

We are the frayed
We are the damaged ones.

We are the frayed
We are the ones who feel broken.
