[Intro – Clean guitar building into distortion]
Black sky hanging over Queens tonight
Static crawling through the city lights
A broken hero hears the call below
One wrong touch… now the poison grows
[Main Riff Kicks In]
[Verse 1]
Bitten once, reborn in red
Now another voice lives in my head
Climbing towers, hunting prey
Something evil learns my name
Web of justice turning black
No way forward, no way back
Power surging through my veins
Turning mercy into rage
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel it move beneath my skin
Feed the darkness deep within
Every heartbeat grows obscene
Man no more—becoming machine
[Chorus]
SYMBIOTE!
Take control tonight
SYMBIOTE!
Feed the hate inside
Hero falling from the light
Venom born beneath the night
No salvation left in sight
SYMBIOTE!
[Verse 2]
Mary Jane crying in the rain
But I barely recognize her face
Every siren sounds so far
When the monster’s become the star
Criminals hanging from the wires
Laughing while the city burns in fire
I used to fight for what was right
Now I crave another fight
[Bridge – Heavy Half-Time]
Black blood pumping
Cold steel soul
The suit don’t whisper
IT TAKES CONTROL
Teeth like daggers
Eyes glowing white
Friendly neighborhood
DIED TONIGHT
[Thrash Breakdown]
RUN!
RUN FROM THE SHADOW ABOVE
NO MORE HERO
NO MORE LOVE
[INSANE GUITAR SOLO SECTION]
(rapid downpicking riff opens into harmonized lead melody)
(first solo: melodic bends and sustained screams)
(second solo: sweep-picked arpeggios, divebombs, blistering tremolo runs)
(dueling guitars trading ascending licks over double bass drums)
[Final Chorus]
SYMBIOTE!
Hear the city cry
SYMBIOTE!
Watch the hero die
Darkness wrapped around my mind
Left the human soul behind
Now the venom’s unified
SYMBIOTE!
[Outro – Slow crushing riff]
Black suit… black heart…
Tearing Peter Parker apart…
