Needle & The Stage By Blackthorn Riot (A Tribute To Nikki Sixx & The Dirt)
Song By Blackthorn Riot Lyrics By Rikki Morningstar, Mavros Blackthorn, Duncan McCalmont -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro – Dark Bass Line + Distant Drums] [Duncan’s bass hums like a heartbeat. Dim lights. Silence before the storm.] 🔥 Yeah… this one’s for the sinners who made us believe… And for Nikki Sixx, who came back from hell🔥 [Verse 1] ➕ In the shadow of a neon cross, ➕ He found the truth in every loss. Black tattooed angels whispered pain, And silver spoons called out his name 💔 [Pre-Chorus] 💔 The crowd was screaming, the lights were wild, But inside he was just a broken child 💔 [Chorus] 💉Needle and the stage, love and pain, Dancin’ with the devil in a runaway train! Nikki Sixx, through fire and flame, He died in dirt, but he rose again! 🔥 [Verse 2] 🩸Blood and ink, the scars remain, Every vein a song, every breath a chain. The louder he played, the deeper he fell, But his bass still echoed through the gates of hell 🔥 [Pre-Chorus] He hit the floor, but the music stayed, A saint of sin that the darkness made. [Chorus] 💉 Needle and the stage, love and pain, Dancin’ with the devil in a runaway train! Nikki Sixx, through fire and flame, He fell from grace, but he carved his name!🔥 [🎼🎸Bridge – Slow Breakdown + Bass Spotlight 🎸🎼] [Duncan’s bass rumbles; the crowd fades to silence.] [Ronan spoken, dark and soft:] “He saw the light from the floor of hell…🕯️ 💉 A needle, a scream, a story to tell. But the devil lost that night — Because Nikki stood up and played again.” 🔥 [🎸Mavros guitar screams in a long, haunting solo — bluesy bends and crying notes, echoing pain and power🎸] [Final Chorus – Full Arena Power] 💉 Needle and the stage, blood and flame, From ashes he rose and took his name! Nikki Sixx, the rebel divine, The dirt, the blood — the sacred line! 🔥 [Outro – Heartbeat Bass + Drum Fade] [A single bass note pulses, like a heartbeat.] 🖤 Yeah… from the dark, from the dirt… We rise — because he did 🔥
