lyrics

It is there from the moment you are born
It's the seed that grows and grows
It matures into something base and rank
Like a bone that won't ever decompose
It becomes a part of who you are
It becomes the clothes you wear
It becomes the way you walk and talk
Follows you around like your own special air
It is you I swear

These are the ways of the wicked and the wild
The black ugly heart in the soul of every child
These are the ways of the demonic and depraved
The black ugly heart that never will be saved
Look out, look out here comes the wilding

It is there in the mirror every morning
Staring back at you with an evil grin
It is there when you go to bed at night
The thing that makes it easy to sin
It is part of your casual conversations
It's embedded in your DNA
You can't shake it, try as you might
You can't shake it, try as you may
It has you in it's sway

Here it comes, here comes the wilding
Here it comes to the streets of your town
And we're going, we’re going down, down, down

It is there in your every single action
Whether you intend it or not
It is there when you call for arbitration
When you're really trying to stir the pot
It is in your insidious laughter
It is in your crocodile tears
It is part of your machinery
It is part of your well-oiled gears
It is all that it appears
