Intro – slow organ, faint fire crackle, whispered devil laugh] (whispered chant) "One more hit, and the kingdom falls…" [Verse 1 – The Addict (desperate tone)] I gave you everything, didn’t I? My soul, my skin, my will to fight. You promised heaven in a needle's bite — So why you standing there tonight? My veins are dry, my hands are cracked, You built me up, now take me back. Just one more taste, I’ll get you one more soul— Do we have a deal? [Chorus – The Devil (cold and calculated)] No. Not this time, not now — You beg for chains, I want the crown. You squirm, you cry, you call me friend — But I need your torment to never end. You were never meant to feel okay, You were built to lead their hearts astray. So suffer, scream, claw for the sky — I won’t let you die. Not yet. Not tonight. [Verse 2 – The Devil continues, calmly sadistic] I fed you fame, gave you gold, Watched you rot, grow pale and cold. Your story’s poison, your breath a spark — You're the fire that lights the dark. You want relief? You want release? That’s the moment my empire leaks. If I feed your hunger now, you see — The puppet cuts its strings from me. [Bridge – Addict and Devil overlapping lines] (#bass_grit #drone_build #desperate_yelling #devil_laugh) Addict: I’m dying here! Just one more shot! Devil: You live better when you rot. Addict: I’ll lose it, I’ll ruin your plan! Devil: And I’ll rebuild you, broken man. Addict: Then why not END me?! Devil: Because your PAIN is contagious. [Chorus – repeat with heavier distortion and layered chanting] No. Not this time, not now — You beg for chains, I want a crown. You squirm, you cry, you call me friend — But I need your torment to never end. You're the echo in their bones, The ghost that calls their vices home. So bleed and shake and crawl and pray — But I won't let you fade away. [Outro – whisper fading, the devil’s voice calm and victorious] (faint heartbeat, devil whisper) "You're mine, even without the high." "Your suffering is the sermon." "And you… are the preacher."
