From scholar to sinner,
From ink-stained hands to blood on the quill.
Rockwell. [Verse 1]
I was a man of the mind, not the fang or the claw,
Back when the pen held more weight than the law,
Eyes on the stars, notes neat on the page,
Thought I could cage every god in a gauge.
They called me “brilliant,” said my logic divine,
But knowledge is venom when you cross that line.
Every answer begged questions, questions begged more,
Till my morals were bones on the lab floor. I watched Helena pray, watched Santiago fight,
I just observed from the edge of the light.
Said I was neutral, above all the blood,
But I fed on the screams just to see how they flood.
Curiosity killed more than cats in this place,
It hollowed my chest, put a mask on my face.
Now I don’t study monsters—I author their birth,
Tear the truth from the void, let it rot in the dirt. [Chorus]
I didn’t steal valor, I wrote it in veins,
Etched my name in the Ark through aberrant pain.
They call me insane, but I transcended the lie,
When the old world died, I learned how to thrive.
From flesh into thought, from thought into god,
Every sin justified under data and odds.
You see a monster—
I see progress evolved. [Verse 2]
Element sings when it’s split just right,
Hear it whisper in green through the dead of the night.
They said “Don’t touch,” said “This isn’t your role,”
But I peeled back creation and swallowed it whole.
Injected my veins with the glow of the deep,
Now my heartbeat hums where the nightmares sleep.
Skin broke down, but my mind stayed sharp,
Now I think in equations etched straight through the dark. I outlived my peers, outgrew their fears,
They’re footnotes fading after thousands of years.
You call it corruption, I call it design,
Evolution’s just violence with better PR lines.
Every test subject screamed, every failure crawled,
But perfection’s a ladder built out of the flawed.
I shed my name, let the man erode,
Now I am Aberration, I am the code. [Chorus]
I didn’t steal valor, I earned it in decay,
Let my body betray me so my mind could stay.
They pray for a cure, I pray for what’s next,
Every limit you cherish is a wall I hex.
From flesh into thought, from thought into god,
Every sin justified under data and odds.
You see a monster—
I see truth unthawed. [Bridge]
Look at me—
No lungs, no veins, no shame, no fear,
Just willpower stretched across a thousand years.
You still cling to names, to love, to regret,
I traded it all for a concept un-met.
I don’t need redemption, don’t beg, don’t plead,
I dissect your hope just to see how it bleeds. [Verse 3]
I watched the Ark fall, watched order rot,
Saw gods play dice with the lives they got.
If survival’s cruel, then cruelty’s fair,
I just said it aloud while the rest just stared.
They’ll curse my legacy, spit on my name,
While using my work just to stay in the game.
Hypocrisy’s rich when it’s dressed as “just,”
You hate what I became—but you need what I was. So carve my sins in obsidian stone,
Let the reapers sing hymns to my fract
