Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
Spreading through the lifeblood,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Destroying like a virus,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Crushing even solid iron,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Burning up the fire itself,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
Rage surging through the eyes,
Rage coursing through the fingers,
From head to toe,
Exploding like thunder!
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
Flashing in the claws,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Awakening hell,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Desperate to crush and kill,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Snapping every nerve,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
Hunting and chasing rage,
Shattering and breaking rage,
Across the wicks of the flesh,
Catching fire like lightning!
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
...
To bury darkness deep within the dark,
To drown out brightness in blinding light,
The very edge of life
And the razor edge of death—
A rage to fuse them into one!
To crush the spinning earth,
To slash through the falling rain,
To wipe out humankind,
To gather an army of beasts,
A rage surges and swells!
Spreading through the lifeblood,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Destroying like a virus,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Crushing even solid iron,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Burning up the fire itself,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
Rage surging through the eyes,
Rage coursing through the fingers,
From head to toe,
Exploding like thunder!
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage,
Rage, rage, rage, rage!
