[Intro] (Fast analog synth stabs, distorted guitars, gang shouts) (Male) Run! (Female) Don't look back! (Gang) Hey! Hey! Hey! Black skies... burning red... Hear those footsteps... filled with dread... [Verse 1] (Female Lead) Smoke on the hillside, fire in the rain, Whispers know my secrets, calling out my name. Every crooked promise leaves another scar, Midnight keeps on counting every fallen star. (Male Response) Keep running! (Female) They're breathing down my neck tonight. (Male) Don't surrender! (Gang) Stand and fight! [Pre-Chorus] (Female) Every lie wears a holy disguise, Every chain is forged inside your mind. (Male) Don't believe... (Gang) Don't believe! (Female) Hope's still burning in the darkest night. [Chorus] (Female & Gang) The Devil sends black dogs after your soul, Hunting every heartbeat, trying to take control. They howl your name through the dead of night, Dragging every dream away from the light. (Male) Don't let go! (Female & Gang) The Devil sends black dogs after your soul, But faith is the fire they can never hold. [Verse 2] (Female) Broken mirrors show a thousand different faces, Every road is filled with hidden empty places. Fear keeps pounding like a hammer on steel, But truth is stronger than the terror that I feel. (Male) Rise higher! (Female) I'm stronger than I was before. (Gang) Kick that door! [Pre-Chorus] (Female) Storms may shake the mountain stone, Still they never own the dawn. (Male) Stand your ground! (Gang) Stand your ground! (Female) Love is louder than the devil's song. [Chorus] The Devil sends black dogs after your soul, Chasing every weakness, demanding their toll. They circle in the shadows where the cold winds blow, Waiting for a heart too tired to say no. (Male) Not today! (Female & Gang) The Devil sends black dogs after your soul, But heaven writes a story darkness can't control. [Bridge] (Half-time, soulful build into blazing guitar solos) (Female) I hear the thunder... I won't bow. I face the darkness... here and now. (Male) Lift your voice! (Gang) Lift your voice! (Female) No chain survives the morning sun. (Gang) Run! Fight! Rise! Live! Run! Fight! Rise! Live! [Final Chorus] (Triple guitars, twin harmonies, gang vocals) The Devil sends black dogs after your soul, But they can't steal the light that makes you whole. They bark with fury, they bite with fear, Yet truth grows louder every single year. The Devil sends black dogs after your soul, Trying to drag your spirit into the cold. Raise your heart, let freedom roll! (Male & Gang) Never surrender! (Female) The Devil sends black dogs after your soul... (All) But he'll never own your soul! (Gang Outro) Hey! Hey! Hey! Stand your ground! Hey! Hey! Hey! Stand your ground! Black dogs fade... the light remains.
