(Verse 1)
The devil came to me
And needed no disguise
But like a frightened sheep
I couldn't look in his eyes
But he looked into mine
As I tried to glance a peek
At the mirror above my bathroom sink
My reflection wasn't mine that night
Something else stared back with burning light
Clawed hands gripped my shoulders tight
As whispers filled my head—couldn't fight
## Chorus
Heart pumping, full of dread
Ears bled when he said
I've chosen you to start the plan
Picked you the cream of the crop
The messenger they cannot stop
The one who makes their empire drop
## Verse 2
Demons dance between the beats
Through the fire and flames
In the shadows where truth and lies meet
Don't mention any of their names
I feel the weight of choices incomplete
Indecisiveness is gonna bring trouble
As my heart pumps fear through veins like sleet
As it reaches my head and weighs it down like rubble
They say the road to hell's paved with good intent
And I hope the road next to me within reach
cuz I'm watching mine crack with each step I've spent
Walking lines between heaven and hell bent
Chipping away the problems I have underneath
finding salvation before I'm fully spent
(Chorus)
Heart pumping, full of dread
Ears bled when he said
I've chosen you to start the plan
Picked you the cream of the crop
The messenger they cannot stop
The one who makes their empire drop
( Bridge)
Now I stand at the crossroads
Light and dark both pulling close
The mission burns inside my soul
Destiny I can't control
Breaking chains, speaking truth
Been chosen as living proof
That systems fall when truth prevails
The messenger who never fails
(Chorus)
Heart pumping, full of dread
Ears bled when he said
I've chosen you to start the plan
Picked you the cream of the crop
The messenger they cannot stop
The one who makes their empire drop
