[Instrumental Intro – cinematic dark synths, pulsing sub-bass, reversed whispers, heartbeat kick rising to a drop]
(low breath, layered whispers)
Ahhh-ohh... (echo: fall...)
Mmm-darkness...
[Verse 1]
Im turning twenty-one this year
Two decades passed, I faced my fear
Every ten, a deeper scar
Each step closer to who we are
The mirror cracked, I saw his grin
The devil lived beneath my skin
He spoke the truths I used to hide
But I was tired, so he stepped inside
[Pre-Chorus – haunting riser, distorted vocal echo]
Ooooooh, I felt the pull into the dark
Ooooooh, his voice became a blazing spark
He told me lies that tasted sweet
He fed the rage beneath my feet
The good in me began to fade
The beast I feared was always made
He rose with fire in his chest
And tore the light out from the rest
[Chorus – dark banger drop, heavy bass, aggressive reverb]
This is my second decade
But now the dark remains
He owns the throne within me
And coursed into my veins
No heaven heard me screaming
No light was worth redeeming
Im broken, Im ascending
The end is just beginning
This is my second decade
And now I wear the crown
Shadows tried to claim me
But I broke out the chain
Im lightning, void, and shadow
I rise through fire and sorrow
He owns me, he is winning
And this is just beginning
[Verse 2]
He wears my face and speaks my name
But everything is not the same
He walks with pride in all my pain
He dances in the acid rain
The rules are gone, the leash is snapped
I watched the world as it collapsed
And in the flames, I found my peace
A slave to power, now released
[Pre-Chorus 2 – chaos rising, glitch vocal layers]
Ooooooh, his scream became my lullaby
Ooooooh, I never learned to say goodbye
He claimed my soul, stole my breath
I took his hand and smiled at death
The good in me is lost, erased
He carved his name into my face
No angel left to pull me free
I chose the dark inside of me
[Final Chorus – massive drop, evil triumph, distorted synths]
This is my second decade
Where evil holds my fate
No light can touch this fury
No savior comes too late
Im dancing with destruction
My soul is in eruption
Im twisted, unforgiving
And I have just begun
This is my second decade
The beast and I are one
No cry will break this silence
No shame for what Ive done
He rules my heart, unspoken
The lock has finally broken
Im hollow, Im the ending
And this is just beginning
[Bridge – slow rise, final transformation, vocal run]
Ohhhhhhhh
I gave in, I let him breathe
He took my pain, made me bleed
Now my heartbeat’s out of line
The devil’s voice is now all mine
No turning, no final prayer
He lives in me, always there
The stars collapse, the sky is torn
From light I strayed, in dark reborn
[Drop – extended outro chant]
Ahhh-ohhh (hes here...)
Ahhh-ohhh (no fear...)
Ahhh-ohhh (Im near...)
Ahhh-ohhh (I disappear...)
This is my reign... this is my fire... I am the fire they all require...
