Lyrics by Mark Hoy and Chimaroke Abuachi.

VERSE ONE:
Mark Hoy -
I think that I've discovered it
A way to divide
Me from my evil side free of Mr. Hyde
The rest of them mock me
Tell me I will fail
But while I mix ingredients I know I will prevail
Calculate create the right mix they're all unaware behind basement bricks
What I aim to fix
Human delusion
Think about it! This could be the solution
To all of my problems
This is gonna solve'em
Add a bit of alcohol and add a little solvent
Ah!
Eureka!
I have the mixture!
Down the hatch goes elixir....

VERSE TWO:
Chimaroke Abuachi -
Forked tongued, they mock what we speak
Black nailed demoralizers bite at what we preach!
Each day they gather rounds of hate
Praying that we sway… to the grave…
Cause when we change! All those forces in our way
Are trampled by a might, found through what they say…
Look at them as they skitter back across the surface
They’ll learn or be back the next day...

VERSE THREE:
Mark Hoy -
Exhilaration!
Not what expected
It seems that the beast is released when ingested
This elixir is more powerful than I projected!
I wonder in the dark alley if I was detected?
Or if the shepherd saw me eat his flock when unprotected
Hope the building that I crushed wasn't that expensive
I felt so free
Devoid of my conscience
Never really knew
How much of it was nonsense
Pah! Morality? A Nobel Prize!
Is what I'm gonna win
When they all realize
That I am the man!
You will not debate it
This calls for celebration!
A toast to creation!

VERSE FOUR:
Chimaroke Abuachi -
Strange alchemy, walking with a tail
Diabolic schemes channeled this eve…
Looking forward to choke our range
Strive to no avail, leaving this deed
Cause we change, all those forces in our way
Are trampled by a might, found through what they say…
Look at them as they skitter back across the surface
They will learn but more will come today…

VERSE FIVE:
Mark Hoy -
Something isn't right
Something's going on
Whatever it is
I feel it in my bones
I think that I'm changing at night when I sleep
I think that I'm losing my control to the beast
Aaggaahhh! I can feel it burning inside of me
The evil side of me trying to get free
No! I have to fight it
Have to hold it down
I can’t change right here in front of this crowd...
What do I do now nowhere to run?
I can tell by the pain that it’s already begun
Mr. Hyde has won over me!
Dear God!!! The brute is FREE!!!

VERSE SIX:
Chimaroke Abuachi -
Black magic from scrolls of old age
Casted this direction, trusting to restrain!
They roar cause hell is all they aid
They say we evade, being sane
Cause we change, all those forces in our way
Are trampled by a might, found through what they say…
Look at them as they skitter back across the surface
They’ll learn or decay…

OUTRO:
See, even the best have tried
To hold me back but now’s the time
Drink! Release the beast inside
show what you Hyde!

Bend, rip, tear those who dare appose
Rawr! break, crash, wreck, claw, bend, bite, crush!
