[Verse 1]
From the very beginning
Knew I had something in me
A vision worthy of listening
But they said, "Sit down, boy"
And they laughed at me
Never gave me attention
That became my dissension
Right there, made the decision
"You're on your own, boy"
So I became a man

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never understand
What you've created

[Chorus]
Stampede
Running over me
Death angels riding
It feels like I'm dying
Stampede
That's crushing me
My temperature's rising
The demon's inside me
[Verse 2]
Tear away all conviction
Beat him into submission
Threatening my existence
And abuse the boy
I'm numb to violence
Buried deep, buried under
Like a nail-beating hammer
I'm the storm, I'm the thunder
I'm the lighting, boy
No more striking me

[Pre-Chorus]
I am the butcher
I've come to slaughter

[Chorus]
Stampede
Running over me
Death angels riding
It feels like I'm dying
Stampede
That's crushing me
My temperature's rising
The demon's inside me
[Bridge]
I am the wind
I am the rain
I am the flood
I am what you've created
And you've gone too far

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Stampede (Stampede)
Running over me (Stampede)
Death angels riding
It feels like I'm dying
Stampede (Stampede)
That's crushing me (Stampede)
My temperature's rising
The demon's inside me
