Lyrics

 * It begins very small
 * seems like nothing much at all
 * Just a germ, just a speck, just a grain
 * but the seed has been sown
 * and before you know it's grown
 * It has spread through your life like a stain
 * And its power will strangle your love and joy
 * and its hunger consumes for it lives to destroy


 * Hate is the star; it becomes who you are
 * Not the hated, but the hater has a torment that's greater
 * It will eat you alive, consume you and spit you out
 * Hate's gonna win that there's no doubt about it
 * Hate doesn't care who you are - Hate is the star!


 * Learning hate is an art, even people who are smart
 * can be caught, can be crushed, can be creamed
 * Hate has swallowed you whole
 * Did you think you're in control
 * Hate you thought, hate you spoke, hate you dreamed
 * All your hate gave me substance your lives are undone
 * It's your eve of destruction, your hatred has won!
