The shift starts, your spine stiffens
You break out in a cold, cold sweat
Then the muscular convulsions tear at your brain
Leaving you snarling and snapping at air
Your thoughts are of tearing asunder
All that exists in a man's world
Control does not exist
You're in the shift and Hell has begun
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
(Kick, snare)
The shift starts, the growl comes from the stomach up
Back from the base of the vertebrae
Razorback, hair straight up
Fluid shoots from your mouth and lungs
Razorneck, or a carnal-dog-thing
Carnal in fury, carnal in lust
You burn from the power, it tremors the senses
Keen and cool and ready for blood
Back up, from the stomach up
Back from the base of a vertebrae
Razorback, hair straight up
Carnal in fury, carnal in lust
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
Whoa (whoa)
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
You break out in a cold, cold sweat
Then the muscular convulsions tear at your brain
Leaving you snarling and snapping at air
All that exists in a man's world
Control does not exist
You're in the shift and Hell has begun
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
(Kick, snare)
Back from the base of the vertebrae
Razorback, hair straight up
Fluid shoots from your mouth and lungs
Carnal in fury, carnal in lust
You burn from the power, it tremors the senses
Keen and cool and ready for blood
Back from the base of a vertebrae
Razorback, hair straight up
Carnal in fury, carnal in lust
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
Whoa (whoa)
Held in the shift (held in the shift)
Held in the shift (held in the shift)

This song to me is like playing the music, the shift, going to work. The hell has begun, hehe cause it's some hard work. Sort of some carissma or attitude you get on stage, like you wanna kill someone and you're pumped.
This song is about someone who is a "Shape Shifter" or some type of transformation. Like man to wolf, etc.
It's fairly straight forward that the lyrics are talking about a man shifting into being a wolf. Lycanthropy.
