[Intro – They told you it was just entertainment… Just a movie… just a thrill… But what you entertain… you invite… And what you invite… …you give permission to stay Fear was never meant to be your home (EXPLOSION — full band hits HARD into Verse 1) Verse 1 (Full energy hits — heavy riffs, driving drums) What’s the price for living in fear? Watching screens, thinking darkness brings cheer We call it entertainment, say it’s harmless fun But don’t see the damage that’s already begun Invite it in, now it’s living at home Then wonder why you feel so alone Depression creeps, anxiety takes control That’s the fruit of what you feed your soul God said don’t repay evil with evil ways But you binge that darkness for days and days Laugh at the horror, call it a joke Not knowing that poison is making you choke Verse 2 (Keep intensity, slight groove variation to keep momentum) Ghosts in the air like they’re something friendly Poltergeist lies creeping in gently Dolls with blood, twisted disguise Corrupting young hearts right before your eyes Then ask why children losing their way It’s what they’re seeing every day Soul ties forming, chains you can’t see Feeding the darkness spiritually We mask the fear, pretend it’s alright But that kind of exposure drains your light Leaves you empty, lost in the smoke Far from the truth that Christ once spoke Chorus (Big, melodic, anthemic — guitars open up) Count the cost, what are you feeding your mind? Truth or lies—what are you letting inside? You can’t walk with light while embracing the night There’s a war for your soul—choose wrong, lose the fight Verse 3 (Pull back slightly at start, then rebuild intensity) If you’re rooted in Christ, then you already know That voice in your spirit telling you “No” Back away, don’t go down that road But we ignore it, carry that load Thinking we know what’s best for our lives Holding onto secrets, feeding the lies But He sees all, nothing stays hidden Every choice made will be revisited Haunted houses, darkness for thrill You think it’s harmless—but it’s real What’s done in the dark comes into the light And every soul’s gonna answer one night Bridge (Breakdown — half-time, heavy, almost spoken intensity) (Drop instruments → build back with chugs) “Abstain from every form of evil” — you’ve heard it before Yet we open wide every spiritual door “The eye is the lamp of the body,” it’s true So what you take in… is shaping you Repent, turn now while there’s still breath Don’t flirt with darkness that’s leading to death Final Chorus (Biggest moment — full instrumentation, layered vocals) Count the cost, this ain’t just a game Every open door gives darkness a name Stand in the truth, walk in the light Lead by example—stand up and fight Outro (Optional — fading but intense) (Instruments strip back to guitar + ambient) What you feed… will grow… Choose the light… or face what you sow…
