lyrics

December 8, 1941
Destination: Vatican City, Rome

It was the day after Pearl Harbor
The day my life changed forever

The scientists insist, I will be the first super-human
I am the glorified mutant

To be one with the shadows
To effortlessly know thy enemy
To have the next six steps in mind
An ability that man can only dream of

I once heard when giving to others, do so in secret

That's been my life in the corps
I've given blood, sweat, tears, and sanity

I've landed now, greeted by men in suits and the lifeless stare of laboratory masks in the distance
I had to remind myself why I was here
To change the world as the unspoken savior

When properly executed. I'll possess the ability to mimic surrounding atoms in regulated lapses
Systematically gathering enemy intelligence, to eliminate their chain of command

The laboratory men began to prep me for the procedure
I lay stiffened on the slab limbs restrained
Enthralled in the chamber accompanied by vapor and exhaust, my soon to be brothers

The scientists insist, I will be the first super-human
I am the glorified mutant

Banish this physical vessel and dispel my flesh
Where I will dissipate into my surroundings as camouflage

Dispel flesh

Where the laws of physics will all be bent
Allowing me to exist cloaked within the laws of chemistry
I began to vomit enormous amounts of black mass
Spewing forth gaseous murk
The siphons around me violently shatter
As gas ruptures through my pores

Smoke fills the air
Releasing the seething fumes
Clouding throughout the room
My new form drifts away
