Prompt / Lyrics

0:00 - 0:15] Intro
(A low, distorted bass synth hums. A slow, heavy drum beat kicks in: Boom-Thwack. The sound of a distant thunder clap.)
"I told you to run, baby...
But you just keep getting closer.
Don't say I didn't warn ya.
Look what you've done."
[0:15 - 0:40] Verse 1
(Minimal music, just the pulse of the bass)
I’m a gentleman by day, yeah, I play the part
Keeping all the shadows locked inside my heart
But when the sun goes down and you touch my skin
The cage door opens and the wild walks in.
You’re playing with fire in a pouring rain
Looking for the pleasure, but you’ll find the pain
I’m a saint in the light, but a ghost in the dark
And you’re the one who provided the spark!
[0:40 - 1:10] The Hook (Chorus)
(The music explodes—big drums, crashing cymbals, and screaming soul vocals)
Oh, you’re waking up the Monster in me!
The side of my soul that I never let free
It’s a beautiful hunger, it’s a wild ecstasy
And now there’s no stopping the Monster in me.
Yeah, I’m losing my mind, I’m losing control
You’re digging a hole right through to my soul
I’m not the man that I used to be
Once you set loose the Monster in me!
[1:10 - 1:35] Verse 2
(Electric guitar starts to "wail" in the background)
Your love is a chain and it’s pulling me down
I’m the king of the night, but I’m losing my crown
You see the teeth and you see the scars
But you still wanna follow me into the stars.
It’s a dangerous game, it’s a reckless ride
There’s nowhere left for the human to hide
You wanted the beast? Well, he’s standing right here
Taste the adrenaline, taste the fear!
[1:35 - 1:55] Final Chorus
(Max volume—full band, choir-like background vocals)
Oh, you’re waking up the Monster in me!
The side of my soul that I never let free
It’s a beautiful hunger, it’s a wild ecstasy
And now there’s no stopping the Monster in me!
[1:55 - 2:00] Outro
(Music cuts out abruptly to just a heartbeat sound)
"I told you...
Now you’re mine.
(Growl-like whisper)
The Monster..."
(Silence)
