The steel doors lock The outside world disappears It's a velvet darkness, just a scent of ozone and dread I'm the rhythm pulsing in the shadows where the silence is fed You're staring hard, trying to read what's behind the mask But I'm the riddle you'll never unmask My city, my rules, I'm the law of the night I play for the stakes, yeah I'm blindingly bright I take what I want, I don't ask for your leave Your heart in the web that I quietly weave I can be your fire, your most beautiful sin Or turn you to ash [brass hit] Just because I want it, I win You're used to the control, you're used to the game But you're losing your grip and you're losing your name No more half measures, keep your words to yourself I'm the only prize sitting high on the shelf Don't wait for a sign, don't look for a name I'm the one who ends this, the one who can tame My city, my rules, I'm the law of the night I play for the stakes, yeah I'm blindingly bright I take what I want, I don't ask for your leave Your heart in the web that I quietly weave I can be your fire, your most beautiful sin Or turn you to ash Just because I want it, I win The stars they shake with every step that I take I'm making the choices that you're too scared to make If you stay in my light you'll be burned to the bone I'm a queen on the edge and I'm standing alone So watch as I turn all the lights into black There's no way forward and there's no turning back My city, my rules, I'm the law of the night I play for the stakes, yeah I'm blindingly bright I take what I want, I don't ask for your leave Your heart in the web that I quietly weave I am your verdict, I am your fate and I Take what I want, I don't ask for your leave Your heart in the web that I quietly weave I can be your fire, my most beautiful sin Or turn you to ash I'm the one who will win
