[Female Whisper] Goth Boy Vampire... [Intro – Harpsichord, Clock Ticking] Veyr Noctis... A thousand years on your throne, And a Goth Boy made you think twice? Heh... imagine that. You called me an irritating bastard. I'll take that as a compliment! I didn't come to steal your crown. I came to remind you why you wore it. CLOCKED OUT INK ENTERTAINMENT! [808 Drop] [Verse 1 – Aggressive Horrorcore Rap] Well, well, well, look who opened the crypt! Ancient king got wisdom from a Goth Boy's lips! Watched civilizations rise and fall, But your hardest battle was inside those walls! You called it a sermon, I called it perspective, Never meant to preach, just offered reflection. You faced that mirror, didn't like what you saw, But admitting your faults ain't admitting you lost! Crowns don't crumble when the ego gets checked, Real kings earn honor through respect. I ain't after your kingdom, ain't demanding your throne, Got a castle of my own and a darkness I own! You survived plagues, but not ghosts inside. I respect your centuries, respect your name, But surviving history ain't the same as change! [Pre-Chorus – Clock Slows] Tick... tock... Another second passing, Another chance you haven't lost. [Chorus – Heavy Guitars, Industrial Trap] KEEP YOUR CROWN! I'LL KEEP MY FANGS! TWO DIFFERENT CRYPTS, BUT WE KNOW THAT PAIN! NO NEED FOR WAR! NO NEED FOR BLOOD! REAL POWER CAN MEAN SHOWING SOME LOVE! YOU'RE STILL THE NIGHTMARE! I'M STILL THE NIGHT! TWO DARK SOULS LEARNING HOW TO GET IT RIGHT! A THOUSAND YEARS! ONE LESSON LEARNED! RESPECT AIN'T WEAKNESS WHEN IT'S EARNED! [Verse 2 – Fast Rap, Wicked Humor] Said you're not opening charity doors? Good! I wasn't begging for anything more! Don't need donations, just respect that's mutual. You called me magnificent, called me a bastard, Guess that means my message finally landed! Sarcastic old vampire with a cynical grin, But I heard something warmer underneath that skin. You're reconsidering the mortals below? Careful, old king, that's a dangerous road! Compassion might sneak in and redecorate! Ha! Don't sharpen those fangs, I'm just playing, mate! Keep your darkness, your crown, your wicked ways, Just don't let yesterday devour your days. I'm the Goth Boy Vampire with scars of my own, Even ancient hearts can refuse to turn cold. [Beat Cut – Harpsichord] [Spoken – Playful, Low Male] Veyr... you survived a thousand years, but a Goth Boy made you uncomfortable? Abbadon! Even the Little King is laughing! [Verse 3 – Double-Time, Rising Strings] I'm not your judge, executioner, salvation, Just another night creature who knows transformation. You learned from the mirror, I learned from scars, Different shadows underneath the same stars. No crown-snatching, backstabbing, graveyard politics, No need turning honest respect into conflict. Could fire back venom, watch everything ignite, But why start a feud with a fellow creature of night? You've got Devil's Underground, I've got Clocked Out Ink, Different castles, but we're closer than you think. We build more together than by burning it down. I'll keep the peace without surrendering pride, You keep your dark humor, I'll enjoy the ride. Admitting you were wrong doesn't end your reign! [Bridge – Piano, Silence] You said I reminded you why you should bother getting up. Veyr... I never wanted you kneeling. Never wanted you broken. Never wanted your kingdom. I wanted you standing. Not above or beneath anybody— just free from yesterday. And as for getting sentimental? Too fucking late, brother. [Final Chorus – Massive 808s, Guitars] KEEP YOUR CROWN! I'LL KEEP MY FANGS! TWO DIFFERENT CRYPTS, BUT WE KNOW THAT PAIN! NO NEED FOR WAR! NO NEED FOR BLOOD! REAL POWER CAN MEAN SHOWING SOME LOVE! YOU'RE STILL THE NIGHTMARE! I'M STILL THE NIGHT! A THOUSAND YEARS! ONE LESSON LEARNED! RESPECT AIN'T WEAKNESS WHEN IT'S EARNED! [Outro – Clock Ticking, Low Spoken] Veyr Noctis... You called me an irritating bastard. I think we're gonna get along just fine. You don't have to destroy something to prove you're powerful. And if someone knocks at your crypt... Relax. It's probably Abbadon. Much love to Veyr Noctis, Devil Death, and Devil's Underground Inc. From the Goth Boy Vampire and Clocked Out Ink Entertainment. Two crypts. Mutual respect. THE NIGHT SHIFT NEVER CLOCKS OUT! [Female Whisper] Goth Boy Vampire... [Clock Chime – Coffin Closes]
