By The Ton Lyrics - Meshuggah

To you a beast you think you comprehend 

Not necessarily made all evil 

In the reflective pool of your eyes 

I see fear and intrigue co-mingle 

You hesitate to deem me all bad 

Yet when my face is shown, your eyes avert 

New thoughts sprout from that fearfilled soil 

Your nerves and intuition back on full alert 

You think that you've seen the truth, you think you know 

Yet disbelief grinds, the doubt it claws 

In your sleepless delirium I devour your thoughts 

If you only knew how your way of life sustains me 

Like electricity coursing through my soul 

Your will to retaliate, your vengeful thoughts announced 

I bring you me - conflict and death 

And the promise of spilling red by the ton
