Become the Firestorm Lyrics

[Intro]
Now become

[Verse 1]
Kill the pain
I’m breaking the shackles
Endless, let my spirit rise
I will not be denied
Rage against the dying light

Fearless, so vicious and violent
I’ll fight this struggle to the death
Until nothing is left
Pounding fists on beaten chest
Scream this ‘til my dying breath

[Chorus]
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm

[Verse 2]
Watch me burn
The fury is frightening
Deathless, smash and conquer all
Time to beckon the call
Stand with me and never fall

Toxic, the pious and poisoned
Heartless, trust there's no love lost
And no matter the cost
Don’t believe that all is lost
Kill this mental holocaust

[Chorus]
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm

[Bridge]
Honor, valor, I have shown
Courage, respect carved in stone
Killers, sinners are my flock
Slaughter, carnage, butcher’s block

If there was ever a time in my life
That time is now
Take this weakness that cuts like a knife
And smash it down

[Chorus]
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Become the Firestorm lyrics by Machine Head

by Kingofstilport

Following the previous songs on this album, this song symbolizes Ares' descent into vengeance, burning away everything that meant to him to give justice to his love Amythests' death. He seeks to become the firestorm, asking us, and others in the story, to watch his story as he burns. This is where Ares' vengeance becomes a raging force. Seeking retribution, his story gathers momentum, and soon it forms a group to bring justice to society for this act of hate. Hate, he will justify, and killers and sinners are his flock.
