Lyrics[]

Gnarled and mangled
Warped deformed
They see nightmares
A mutant swarm
I see beauty
Underneath
I see promise
In nature's freak

A mystery of blood and bone
Soulless, origin unknown
Twisted devil villains lost in time
Mindless born of bubbling ooze
Intelligence I will infuse
A curse upon the world but now you're mine

I will raise you up design
The perfect beast
Elevate the savage
Use you to bring peace

They don't know
They don't understand
There's a goal
It's my master plan

These simple minded fools just see my plans abstruse
I'll give the monster's life a use

Awaken my brood
Today you will rise
I've given you life
My lusus naturae
Open your eyes

Created in a netherworld
Into this realm you were hurled
But scientifically misunderstood
I will decode and knowledge gain
Your mysteries I will explain
I'll lucubrate and change you for the good

The fools they've placed in power
Try to halt my dreams
They will fail to stop me
Grimm I will redeem

I'm your god
I will make you grow
You're my own
twisted embryo

They call me sick obsessed
A madman with no proof
In triumph I will show the truth

Awaken my brood
Today you will rise
I've given you life
My lusus naturae
Open your eyes

When evolution fails
Science will prevail
What nature warped
I will restore
I will love
What all abhor

They call me sick obsessed
A madman with no proof
I'll give the monster's life a use

Awaken my brood
Today you will rise
I've given you life
My lusus naturae
Open your eyes
