⸻
[VERSE 1]
I didn’t trip into damnation,
Didn’t stumble into chains—
I walked straight into the fire
Like I didn’t feel the pain.
They told me I was cursed,
Told me monsters don’t get grace—
But I saw heaven in her eyes once,
And I damn well took my place.
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Ten years for one day…
You think that scared me, boy?
I’ve bled harder just wakin’ up,
I’ve survived worse just to breathe joy.
So I signed their wicked contract
With a grin and broken hand—
One day where she could touch me
Was more than hell could understand.
⸻
[CHORUS — growled, powerful]
Ten years for one day—
I’d pay it all again.
Let the devils drag me screaming,
Let the angels call it sin.
I ain’t askin’ for forgiveness,
Ain’t beggin’ to be saved—
Ten years for one day…
And I’d die the same damn way.
⸻
[VERSE 3 — quieter, jagged]
She held my face like I was human,
Like I wasn’t born of hate…
Her fingers didn’t shake at all
When she touched what gods create.
Sunrise felt like mercy,
Moonlight felt like truth…
And hell was waitin’ under me
Just to tear it all in two.
⸻
[VERSE 4 — bitter]
They laughed when I went willingly,
Said I’d broken like a slave—
But they don’t know a monster’s heart,
What it feels like to be saved.
Yeah, I walked down into hellfire
With her warmth still in my chest—
And every scream they carved from me
Was worth the way she said “rest.”
⸻
[CHORUS — rougher, louder]
Ten years for one day—
And I never looked behind.
They can burn me, break me, flay me,
But they’ll never take her mind.
I wasn’t made for holy places,
I wasn’t meant for skies—
But for one day, I was hers…
And that truth never dies.
⸻
[BRIDGE — spoken, hard voice cracking]
You wanna know what real pain is?
It ain’t claws, or chains, or fire.
It’s rememberin’ how she smiled…
Knowin’ I can’t climb any higher.
Hell’s easy.
I know that song.
But heaven—
Heaven was one day long.
⸻
[VERSE 5 — fiercely, like a confession he regrets]
So damn the angels for their judgment,
Damn the devils for their deal—
I chose it with my eyes wide open,
Nothing forced me to kneel.
I’d do it all again tomorrow,
Do it thrice if asked to pay—
‘Cause one breath shared beside her
Outweighs eternity any day.
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS — roaring, honest]
Ten years for one day—
My curse and my crown.
Let the whole damn underworld
Try and tear me down.
I’m the beast they couldn’t break,
The fool who dared to pray—
Ten years for one day…
And I’d burn again today.
⸻
[OUTRO — quiet, rough whisper]
Yeah…
One day with her…
Worth forever in hell.
That’s the curse.
That’s the truth.
That’s me.
