[Verse 1 – Half-sung / melodic]
Woke up chained to the ghost of who I was
Every chain feels like comfort, every lie feels like love
Mirror shows a corpse with my face, still breathing
Heart full of graves, soul full of treason
[Pre-Chorus – Building tension]
I hear the serpent whispering sweet decay
“Come back to the dirt, it’s easier this way”
But something’s roaring louder than the grave
A war cry rising from an empty tomb
[Chorus – Heavy, gang vocals]
I’m dying to sin! Bury the old me six feet deep!
Kill the flesh! Watch it bleed!
Nail it to the cross, let the old man scream
I’m crucified with Christ — now watch me live again!
DIE! DIE! DIE TO SIN!
KILL! KILL! KILL THE FLESH WITHIN!
[Breakdown – Low, guttural]
This body is a battlefield — I’m taking no prisoners!
Every lust, every lie, every chain I deliver
To the grave! To the grave!
I drag the corpse and I spit on its name!
[Verse 2 – Faster, more aggressive]
Temptation knocks but I swing with holy rage
Grace is my warpaint, truth is my blade
I used to feed the beast, now I starve it slow
Let it rot in the light where the dead things go
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Soaring clean vocals]
The blood still speaks, it’s louder than my shame
Mercy rewrote my story, now I’m not the same
Resurrection power burning in my veins
I was born to die once — now I live to slay the pain
[Chorus – Even heavier]
I’m dying to sin! Bury the old me six feet deep!
Kill the flesh! Watch it bleed!
Nail it to the cross, let the old man scream
I’m crucified with Christ — now watch me live again!
DIE! DIE! DIE TO SIN!
KILL! KILL! KILL THE FLESH WITHIN!
[Bridge – Spoken over eerie clean guitar, then huge build]
Daily. I die.
Daily. I rise.
Not by my strength — by the One who already died
So I reckon myself dead to the power of sin
Alive to God… let the slaughter begin
[Final Breakdown – Brutal, mosh-ready]
CUT IT OUT! RIP IT OUT!
BLEED IT DRY TILL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT!
NO MORE COMPROMISE! NO MORE DEFEAT!
THE FLESH IS DEAD — I’M WALKING IN VICTORY!
DIE TO SIN!
KILL THE FLESH!
DIE TO SIN!
I’M ALIVE IN HIS DEATH!
[Outro – Melodic clean vocals fading into final chug]
I died with Him… so now I live
The grave couldn’t hold Him — it won’t hold me
Kill the flesh…
Kill the flesh…
I’m finally free.
