They murmur as I stroll along the boulevard at ease
Make the sign against evil, like I'm some cursed disease
The pastor's spouse grips her necklace, eyes wide with fright
Claims I'm why the innocent dread the cover of night
Elders huddle on the veranda as twilight falls low
Whispering my vices in the quiet afterglow
They wag their tongues, nod in disdain and scorn
Yet I grin wide, for this blaze is mine, reborn
Let their words fly, let their gazes pierce
I crave no blessings, no divine pierce
No sacred rinse will cleanse the heat
That surges wild in my blood's beat
I'm hell's own child, destined to stir the storm
Crimson-lipped rebel, weaving my own form
They can condemn from their sacred seats so high
But I sway with shadows, beneath the midnight sky
Label me chaos, untamed and bold
Hell's own child, in my story told
Mother cautioned the world 'bout women like my kin
Inked skin and hide, fierce from within
I sip my liquor raw, voice my truths unchained
Trail shattered loves and haze in my wake unrestrained
Heels stomping the tavern wood, I claim the dark
Hunting phantoms 'neath the glow's stark spark
No bonds can tame this defiant spirit's flight
Hammered in inferno, singular and bright
Let them beseech for my spirit's grace
I'm complete as is, in this hardened space
No redemption calls to this unyielding core
I've claimed my paradise in the wild unknown's roar
I'm hell's own child, destined to stir the storm
Crimson-lipped rebel, weaving my own form
They can condemn from their sacred seats so high
But I sway with shadows, beneath the midnight sky
Label me chaos, untamed and bold
Hell's own child, in my story told
They warn of descent to the abyss's glow
But secrets they miss in the undertow
I'd blaze eternal over kneeling in fear
Cursed in glory, not pleading here
The fork in the path summoned, and I replied with glee
A nod and vow, just you wait and see
No sorrows in the ashes of my ardent pyre
I'll climb this trail, ever upward, higher
In the dead of night, as the village dreams away
I cry to the lunar orb, guarding what I say
Specters of yesterday drag at my heels
But I surge like lightning, shattering seals
They raise barriers of pious dread
I'll shatter them clean, leaving them for dead
No pleas for mercy, no sorrow's stream
Just roaring alive till life's final dream
Down gravel paths and through the torrent's pour
I harness the gale, welcoming more
Echoes of paramours fade on the breeze
Whispers of liberty where the fierce convene
The ancient bell tolls the hour of spells
I mock their waning might, ringing my bells
Ebony silk and spirits, my scepter and reign
In this realm of turmoil, I hold domain
I'm hell's own child, destined to stir the storm
Crimson-lipped rebel, weaving my own form
They can condemn from their sacred seats so high
But I sway with shadows, forever allied
Label me chaos, a bolt in the downpour
Hell's own child, coursing through your core
From rural depths to urban blaze
I thread my enchantments through endless days
Outcasts and holy, they flock to my side
But I seize my destiny, no need to hide
The fervent criers herald my end's approach
Still I stand fierce, with embers that encroach
No tidy yards, no pious garb to wear
Just my pulse's rhythm in this feral affair
They finger their beads, bolt their gates secure
Dreading the tempest that endures
But I bear the fiend's smirk and a lure's sweet call
Drawing you deep where the fallen enthrall
No retreat from this scarlet trail I tread
Where wanderers roam and burdens shed
By the inferno that guides my stride
I'm liberated, fierce, whatever betide
I'm hell's own child, destined to stir the storm
Crimson-lipped rebel, weaving my own form
They can condemn from their sacred seats so high
But I sway with shadows, forever allied
Label me chaos, a bolt in the downpour
Hell's own child, coursing through your core
Yeah, hell's own child
That's my claim
Hell's own child
That's my name
Born to ignite, never restrained
Hell's own child
Yeah, that's me
Timeless blaze, wild and unchained
Hell's own child, eternally free
