They come in the dead of night
Like shadow cut from blackened sky
Wraith-like, they whisper air
Return to Earth to see what's left

They were born of an animal
They were born of a dream
They were born of a jackal
Born like you and me

Metaphysic, sentient
Like hearing ancient voices in your head
No escape from the animal
No escape from the beast inside

And if man is an animal
They'll be the only one left
Victims of the future
Codename: "Animus Death"

Darkened ruins show our plight
Jagged monuments to space and time
The wraith leave, their mission clear
To test the limit of our fear

They were born of an jackal
They were born of a dream
They were born of a animal
Born like you and me
Elemental destiny
Like a feast of starlight in your mind
No escape from reality
No escape from the beast inside

And if man is an animal
They'll be the only one left
Victims of the future
Crown him "Animus Rex"
