Evil-lution (Remastered)

[Verse 1]
Born in the backroom, blacked-out glow
Steel in the blood and a circuit soul
Teeth in the mirror, grin too wide
God got quiet, so the beast replied
Skin like a warning, eyes like flame
Nobody leaves here looking the same
Halo twisted into a crown of thorns
Something dead woke up reborn
[Pre-Chorus]
You can hear that siren singing through the static haze
A pretty little prophecy of violence and decay
They tried to build a monster they could chain up to a wall
Now it’s standing ten feet tall
[Chorus]
This is evil-lution
Sweet damnation, new pollution
DNA dipped in revolution
Cut me open, watch the future crawl
This is evil-lution
No salvation, no illusion
We don’t pray, we make the ruin
If heaven wants war, let heaven fall
[Verse 2]
Velvet venom on a razor tongue
Heart beat dirty from a loaded drum
Chrome-wing fever in a midnight vein
Kiss of a serpent in the acid rain
Saints all drowned in the champagne flood
Kings get buried in the beautiful mud
Every scar got a name carved in
Every sin got a way back in
[Pre-Chorus]
You can smell that thunder burning under perfect skin
Feel the whole world shaking where the dark begins
They tried to write the ending before I learned to crawl
Now I’m writing on the wall
[Chorus]
This is evil-lution
Sweet damnation, new pollution
DNA dipped in revolution
Cut me open, watch the future crawl
This is evil-lution
No salvation, no illusion
We don’t pray, we make the ruin
If heaven wants war, let heaven fall
[Bridge]
I am the fracture in the frame
I am the glitch that learned your name
I am the hunger dressed in gold
I am the lie the weak ones told
I don’t want mercy, keep your light
I learned more truth in one black night
From the graveyard bloom to the syndicate sun
What you call death is what I become
[Breakdown]
Evo-lve
De-volve
Break the bone and melt the law
Bleed the spark and feed the jaw
Rise ugly
Rise grand
Built by ruin
Made by hand
[Final Chorus]
This is evil-lution
Sweet damnation, pure solution
Blood and code in contribution
Strike the match and let the old world burn
This is evil-lution
No redemption, just the movement
Every wound becomes improvement
Crash and rise and twist and turn
This is evil-lution
Dark creation, execution
Love corruption, hate devotion
Name the price and I’ll become it all
This is evil-lution
No salvation, no illusion
We don’t kneel, we are the fusion
If heaven wants war, let heaven fall
[Outro]
Evil-lution
Evil-lution
From the wreckage
Something beautiful
