[Verse 1]
I fed the lock my name
Watched the door bite back
Black smoke in my ribs
Kept my grin intact
They called me cursed blood
Like I wasn't made for war
Now I wear the mark
And I want more
Cold eyes in the mirror
No fear in the frame
I shook hands with the ache
Then I learned its name
Every scar I got
Got a pulse of its own
When the room goes dead
I am not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that low growl
Under my skin
It don't own me
I let it in
Hands on the wheel
Eyes on the flame
If they want a monster
I answer the name
[Chorus]
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
I wear the dark
And I steer it here
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
They see my grin
Then they disappear
[Verse 2]
I don't beg the storm
I train the storm
Chain by chain by chain
I reshape the form
Ain't no holy light
Gonna tame this mouth
I speak in iron
When the blood runs south
They want control?
I made it a throne
Built from old bones
And a broken home
Now the thing they hated
Got a hand on the door
I don't run from it
I feed it more
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that low growl
Under my skin
It don't own me
I let it in
Hands on the wheel
Eyes on the flame
If they want a monster
I answer the name
[Chorus]
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
I wear the dark
And I steer it here
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
They see my grin
Then they disappear
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
I took the hunger
And taught it to kneel
I took the wound
And turned it to steel
No split in the soul
No crack in the crown
I let the abyss
Bow down
[Final Chorus]
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
I wear the dark
And I steer it here
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
They see my grin
Then they disappear
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
I am the hand
That keeps the beast clear
Become the fear
Become the fear (the fear)
Total control
And the night is here
