Prey to Me by Atlantica - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered to scream • drifting synth, low piano, then drop with distorted guitars building]

I feel your hunger crawling under my skin…

Are we lovers or predators circling again?

Bite down on the part of me that’s begging to break—

Go on… make me your favorite mistake.

[Instrumental break/interlude- heavy bass riff and syncopated off-kilter drums]

[Verse 1 — melodic • clean vocals • ambient guitars + tight drums]

You said you wanted honesty,

But all you taste is weakness when you breathe in me.

We’re tangled in a ritual of fear and desire,

Two broken saints playing too close to the fire.

You trace the scars like scripture on my chest,

Saying mercy never mattered when you loved me best.

But tonight your touch is colder than the grave—

Tell me…

Is it comfort that you want,

or a body to save?

⸻

[Pre-Chorus — rising tension • mixed clean/scream • guitars bloom]

Every promise turns to poison on our tongues,

Every heartbeat sounds like loading up a gun…

⸻

[Chorus — anthemic • soaring clean vocals with backing screams • big guitars]

Prey to me—

Sink the teeth in everything you couldn’t keep.

Stay with me—

Even if it means we bleed ourselves to sleep.

We’re carving out devotion in the damage we create…

If you need a sacrifice,

then go on—

Prey to me.

⸻

[Verse 2 — darker • half-spoken / half-sung • glitchy percussion]

You worship every sin we never meant to confess,

Turn my pain into a kingdom you’re dying to possess.

You say you love me, but your love is a blade,

Sharper when I’m fragile, sweeter when I’m afraid.

But I’m no innocent—

I hunger just the same.

I drink your doubt like venom

and whisper your name.

We’re perfect in the moments we should run away—

Instead, we stay.

Instead, we prey.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus — anguished • increasing distortion]

Every touch becomes a weapon in your hands,

Every promise breaks exactly where we stand…

⸻

[Chorus — full power • layered screams / harmonies]

Prey to me—

Take the parts of you you swore you’d never need.

Stay with me—

Even when we’re tearing through the seams.

We’re carving out devotion in the chaos that we made…

If you crave a sacrifice,

then baby—

Prey on me.

⸻

[Bridge — heavy • full screams • crushing breakdown]

[Screamed]

Are we holy?

Are we wicked?

Tell me why we’re so addicted.

Rip me open—

I won’t fight.

I was built to burn tonight.

If destruction is devotion,

promise you’ll destroy me slowly—

Hold me down, reclaim the lonely…

Make me yours,

even if you never know me.

⸻

[Breakdown- instrumental, heavy bass, no guitar]

[Heavy bass solo]

[Final Chorus — massive • cleans + screams • atmospheric strings under guitars]

Prey to me—

Take the darkness you keep hiding underneath.

Stay with me—

Let the hunger pull us deeper when we speak.

We’re drowning in a worship only ruin can set free…

If you want a sacrifice,

if you want the part that’s left of me—

then come on...

You're prey for me.
