[Verse 1]
Door opens on the bone path
My name in the rusted book
I wore the smoke like a crown
Now the pit gives me a look
Cold gold in the dead hand
Keys hanging from my throat
I step where the souls all crawl
And the black tide starts to float
[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now
Hear that chain?
It learns my pulse
It speaks my pain
[Chorus]
I’m the next devil
Next devil
I wear the ash and gold
I’m the next devil
Next devil
Let the cold gates unfold
[Verse 2]
Steel legs on a graveyard grid
Hands full of broken vows
Whispers weave through my teeth
I taste the thunder now
Piano falls like a last regret
Violin cuts through my skin
I was built from the losing fire
Now I let the dark come in
[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now
Hear that chain?
It learns my pulse
It speaks my name
[Chorus]
I’m the next devil
Next devil
I wear the ash and gold
I’m the next devil
Next devil
Let the cold gates unfold
[Bridge]
[Whispers]
Come closer
I know the way
I walked through death
To wear this face
[Shouted]
No prayer can hold me
No light can name me
I rise from the wound
I rise unclean
[Breakdown]
Step in
Sink low
The old heat dies
The new fire grows
[Chorus]
I’m the next devil
Next devil
I wear the ash and gold
I’m the next devil
Next devil
Let the cold gates unfold
[Outro]
Bone road behind me
Pit sky ahead
I enter forever
And crown the dead
