I Bite Back-- Jack Townson Original Song (Patreon)

[Verse 1]

They thought I was myth

Fangs lost in the fog

But I woke the wyrm

And I burned the gods

Chains on my neck

That’s ornamental

Blood in my breath

Soul intercontinental

Talon grip

I walk with ghosts

Impaler’s heir

Yeah I drink and toast

Built my keep

On broken screams

They lit the match

But I forge the flame

[Pre-Chorus]

Carved from the stakes

They left in my chest

Each one a vow

That I’ll never forget

Wings in the mist

Shadow on snow

The deeper you run

The darker I glow

[Chorus]

I BITE BACK

With the fire of thrones

I BITE BACK

And a heart gone black

I BITE BACK

Every curse you gave

I BITE BACK

I wear like a pact

[Verse 2]

Tail of a comet

Voice of a tomb

I spit flame scripture

In a cathedral room

Draconic pulse

In a blood-born hymn

You rode with me

Now you ride for them

Thorns in my crown

Flames in my eyes

I built the stake

Where your heroes die

My court is chaos

My kiss is doom

I loved you once

Now I only consume

[Bridge]

Silver won’t work

Prayers fall flat

Your crucifix cracks

As the sky turns black

You thought me demon

I'm older than that

I was death

Before death ever learned to act

You try to be me

That’s comedy

Your blade bends

While they honor me

You scream my name

Just to get a crumb

I built a throne

You bite your tongue

Try to cancel

I brand your hate

Turn your slander

Into my cape

I see the posts

I smell the fear

Still here still king

Still crystal clear

You mimic my walk

My bite my tone

But I’m carved from void

You're silicone

You crave my death

But I transcend

Reborn in fire

Again and again

Every fall

Just fuels my fame

Now kiss the crown

And choke on the name

[Final Chorus]

I BITE BACK

Crimson sigils

Scrawled in the ash

I BITE BACK

Dragon-blood soul

With the vengeance to match

I BITE BACK

My coffin’s a throne

My breath is fire

I’m the empire

You couldn’t retire

[Outro]

Wyrm of the dark

King of the dead

Say my name

Or choke on regret

Swear your oath

Or be unmade

By fang, by fire

By vow betrayed

Let liars burn

Let cowards crawl

May every curse you cast

Return—and fall

Ash to ash

Blood to black

Mark my words...

I BITE BACK
