(Verse 1)
Candlelight flickering low, I was desperate then
Bleeding dreams down on the floor, nothing left to spend
He stepped out the shadow edge, smile like a blade
Said "I’ll give you the world, just your soul in trade"
I was hungry, I was hollow, I didn’t read the fine print
Signed my name in smoke, thought the pain would end
He said "Easy, child, this is freedom you’ve found"
But the moment ink turned black… everything went wrong
(Pre-Chorus)
Golden promises turned to chains inside my chest
Every breath I take, I feel the debt I can’t arrest
He laughs when I shiver, he feeds on my fear
Said "You asked for this, darling — now the cost is clear"
(Chorus)
Oh, I made a deal with the devil, thought I’d rule the night
But he locked my joy away and left the darkness bright
Now it burns beneath my skin, won’t let me rest
Internal fire that never ends, no beat of my chest
I regret it, I regret it, every single breath
Trapped in this forever pain till my dying death
Sold my soul for nothing — just a hollow, empty crown
The devil took my life and turned it upside down
(Verse 2)
Thought I’d be the queen of stars, master of my fate
Instead I’m a prisoner inside my own head, late
At night he whispers cruel things, twists every thought
Says "You belong to me now — you can never walk away"
My bones ache, my heart feels heavy like lead
Every smile I force is just a mask I wear instead
I try to scream but no sound comes out at all
He sealed my voice the day I answered to his call
(Pre-Chorus)
Golden promises turned to chains inside my chest
Every breath I take, I feel the debt I can’t arrest
He laughs when I shiver, he feeds on my fear
Said "You asked for this, darling — now the cost is clear"
(Chorus)
Oh, I made a deal with the devil, thought I’d rule the night
But he locked my joy away and left the darkness bright
Now it burns beneath my skin, won’t let me rest
Internal fire that never ends, no beat of my chest
I regret it, I regret it, every single breath
Trapped in this forever pain till my dying death
Sold my soul for nothing — just a hollow, empty crown
The devil took my life and turned it upside down
(Bridge)
(music slows, synths turn cold and echoing)
I begged him on my knees, said take it back, please
He just smiled and shook his head, said "The contract never frees"
It’s forever, it’s forever, this ache inside my veins
No escape, no release, no breaking free these chains
I made my bed in darkness, now in darkness I lie
Crying tears that never dry, watching hope just… die
(Outro)
Deal with the devil…
Regret it every day…
Pain is all I have now…
Forever to pay…
(fades out on a single, hollow synth note)
