Verse 1
I heard your footsteps outside the fire,
Felt your fear tangled up with desire.
You came like a king with your head held high,
Then I raised my eyes and watched your courage die.
The drums went low, your breathing changed,
One slow smile and you forgot your name.
You thought you came here to conquer the night—
Now you’re on your knees in the circle of light.
Chorus
Come closer, let the rhythm take hold,
Give me your hunger, your blood, your soul.
I don’t need chains to make you stay,
One look from me and you’ll obey.
Beat of the drum, heat of the flame,
Every part of you answers my name.
You came for power, but now you know—
I am the ritual. You lose control.
Verse 2
I painted my mark over your skin,
Whispered the words that let darkness in.
You tried to fight what your body knew,
But the wild inside you was calling me too.
I moved around you, slow and near,
Tasting the hunger beneath your fear.
You wanted the woman you could command—
Now you’re trembling under the touch of my hand.
Chorus
Come closer, let the rhythm take hold,
Give me your hunger, your blood, your soul.
I don’t need chains to make you stay,
One look from me and you’ll obey.
Beat of the drum, heat of the flame,
Every part of you answers my name.
You came for power, but now you know—
I am the ritual. You lose control.
Bridge
I never chased you.
I made you come.
I never touched you
Before you were undone.
Now say my name
Like a sacred sound—
The hunter entered,
But the prey walked out.
Final Chorus
Come closer, let the rhythm take hold,
Give me your hunger, your blood, your soul.
No gods above us, no law, no shame—
Only your body answering my name.
Beat of the drum, heat of the flame,
You’ll never leave here quite the same.
You came for power, but now you know—
I am the ritual. You lose control.
