Demon in the Flesh
**(Intro)** [Song begins with a deep, distorted sub-bass drop, followed by a pulsing, sinister synth arpeggio. A whispery, pitch-shifted vocal sample echoes.] ...Let him in... **(Verse 1)** [A steady, robotic drum machine beat kicks in. The vocals are low, conversational, and dripping with menace.] You feel a chill when I walk in the room A sudden silence, a sense of doom You think it's accidental, this poisonous air? I'm manufacturing every second of your despair (Your despair) **(Pre-Chorus)** [The synth bassline becomes more aggressive. A heavily distorted guitar chord stabs on every beat. Vocals rise in intensity.] The smile I wear is a borrowed skin A pleasant lie to let the dark begin So pray to heaven, scream and shout You're just gonna burn when I blow the house down... **(Chorus)** [Explosion of sound. Full, crunchy guitar riff. Aggressive, punchy drums. Vocals are an anthemic, shouted sing-along.] 'Cause I'm the demon in the flesh, the beautiful mistake! I'm the tremor in the floor, the way the foundations break! I'll love you like a poison, I'll hold you like a vice! Yeah, I'm the demon in the flesh, and tonight feels so nice! (Tonight feels so nice!) **(Verse 2)** [Music pulls back to the pulsing synth and beat. Vocals return to a terrifying, calm whisper.] I speak in tongues of gasoline and rust I'll build you up just to watch you combust Your angel's crying, I can hear the sound While I'm happily twisting your halo 'round (Halo 'round...) **(Pre-Chorus)** [The build-up repeats, louder and more intense than before.] The smile I wear is a borrowed skin A pleasant lie to let the dark begin So pray to heaven, scream and shout You're just gonna burn when I blow the house down... **(Chorus)** [The chorus returns, even bigger. Layered gang vocals shout the lines. A chaotic, screaming guitar lead wails over the main riff.] 'Cause I'm the demon in the flesh, the beautiful mistake! I'm the tremor in the floor, the way the foundations break! I'll love you like a poison, I'll hold you like a vice! Yeah, I'm the demon in the flesh, and tonight feels so nice! (Tonight feels so nice!) **(Bridge)** [Music breaks down to a creepy, music-box version of the synth melody. A deep, demonic vocal (think a pitch-shifted growl) speaks.] This is not a possession. This is a partnership. We like the way you shiver. We like the way your heart rips. **(Breakdown)** [A massive, slow, head-banging riff drops. The tempo slows way down. The vocals are guttural, rhythmic shouts.] BREAK. YOU. DOWN. TO. THE. GROUND. NO. ESCAPE. NO. MORE. SOUND. **(Outro)** [The main synth arpeggio returns alone, slowly fading. The final line is whispered, then followed by the sound of a match striking and a sudden, bright flame igniting before it cuts to silence.] I'm the demon in the flesh... ...and business is good. ...... .... ..
