Becoming

Lyrics

[Intro - Spoken]
Something's changing in my blood tonight
I feel it crawling through my veins
The elders warned me but I wouldn't listen
Now I'm becoming what I feared...
[Verse 1]
You see me walking through these mountains
But I ain't the same one that you knew
My fingers stretching, bones are cracking
Got a hunger deep inside that's breaking through
Feel my skin turn hard as granite
Every step I take, the earth shakes loose
Can't control these new sensations
Ancient spirits got me singing different tunes
Something wicked's taking over
And I think I'm starting to enjoy the view
Running wild through Cherokee lands
Watch me turn into something cruel
[Chorus]
(Watch me change) My skin is turning into stone
(Can't escape) These urges eating at my soul
(Feel the pain) My fingers growing sharp as steel
(Run away) Before you see what's really real
[Verse 2]
Think you're safe behind your doorway?
I can smell your fear from miles away
Got this craving in my stomach
And these fingers gonna make you pay
Climbing mountains like they're nothing
Got that ancient power coursing through my brain
Looking at you through these new eyes
Everything I used to be is slipping away
Feel my mind get twisted darker
As my human side begins to fade
Ain't no medicine man can save you
When I come to claim what's mine to take
[Bridge]
[Native flute interlude]
AAAHHHH-YEEEAAAHHH
(Run little children, run and hide)
Something hungry's coming alive...
[Verse 3]
Now I know why they were scared then
When they spoke about the mountain's curse
Got that old-time power flowing
And my hunger's only getting worse
Feel the strength inside my body
As I scale these cliffs and tear through trees
You can hear me coming closer
When the night wind carries screams
Can't remember who I once was
But I know just what I need to be
In these mountains I'm the hunter
And you're never getting free
[Chorus]
(Watch me change) My skin is turning into stone
(Can't escape) These urges eating at my soul
(Feel the pain) My fingers growing sharp as steel
(Run away) Before you see what's really real
[Outro]
(Before you see what's really real...)
[Demonic laugh fades out]
