[Intro — Whispered, Ancient and Ominous] Close the circle... Extinguish the flame... Do not speak the name That was buried before time. The walls are breathing. The shadows know. You came to cast me out... But tell me, priest— WHO LET ME IN? [Verse 1 — Dark, Low Vocals] Beneath the chapel, underneath the stone, A thousand years I've ruled the dark alone. Black candles tremble, the sacred windows crack, You speak of salvation, but there's no turning back. The ancient bells are choking in the night, The holy symbols cannot bear the sight. You brought your scriptures, you brought your holy flame, But every time you pray, I whisper back your name. I am the hunger sleeping underneath, The final secret hidden in your teeth. I am the nightmare wearing heaven's face, The shadow that was never meant to leave this place. [Pre-Chorus — Whisper Building Into a Growl] Say your prayers! Lock the door! Draw your symbols on the floor! Raise your cross! Call your saints! I HAVE HEARD THESE WORDS FOR ETERNITIES! [Chorus — Explosive, Demonic Screams] I AM THE DEMON THAT NEVER KNEELS! THE BLACKENED TRUTH THAT YOUR FAITH CONCEALS! CAST ME OUT — I RETURN WITH THE NIGHT! I AM THE DARKNESS THAT SWALLOWS YOUR LIGHT! EXORCIST! EXORCIST! SPEAK MY NAME! YOUR HOLY WORDS FEED THE ETERNAL FLAME! RING THE BELLS UNTIL HEAVEN GOES DEAF! I WAS HERE BEFORE YOUR GOD TOOK HIS BREATH! [Verse 2 — Fast, Aggressive Flow] The mirrors are bleeding reflections of the past, The priest is reciting, but his voice won't last. The shadows crawl upward, the ceiling turns red, And something starts laughing inside of his head. Latin words fracture, the candles burn blue, Every sacred promise is breaking in two. The air tastes ancient, the floor begins to shake, A thousand sleeping horrors suddenly awake. I have no heartbeat, I have no grave, No mortal kingdom, no soul to save. You call me evil, you call me damned, But you cannot comprehend what I am. I watched your empires turn to dust, I watched your temples collapse into rust. Kings became ashes, their gods became names, But I remained beneath the earth with the flames. [Breakdown — Deep Guttural Growls] GET DOWN! NO! BOW YOUR HEAD! NO! THE BOOK IS OPEN! THE WORDS ARE DEAD! YOU CAME FOR THE DEMON— BUT THE DEMON CAME FOR YOU! [Bridge — Slow, Ritualistic Whisper] One candle for the forgotten... One candle for the damned... One candle for the kingdom That was never ruled by man. The priest stops speaking. The bells stop ringing. And from beneath the altar— Something starts singing. [Chorus — Maximum Intensity, Layered Screams] I AM THE DEMON THAT NEVER KNEELS! THE BLACKENED TRUTH THAT YOUR FAITH CONCEALS! CAST ME OUT — I RETURN WITH THE NIGHT! I AM THE DARKNESS THAT SWALLOWS YOUR LIGHT! EXORCIST! EXORCIST! SPEAK MY NAME! YOUR HOLY WORDS FEED THE ETERNAL FLAME! RING THE BELLS UNTIL HEAVEN GOES DEAF! I WAS HERE BEFORE YOUR GOD TOOK HIS BREATH! [Final Verse — Extremely Low, Menacing Vocals] The final prayer dies upon your tongue, The ancient hymn remains unsung. You raise your cross with a trembling hand, But you have crossed into a nameless land. No more commands, no sacred decree, No chains of heaven can imprison me. The ritual ends, but the night remains, And something is walking outside in the rain. You thought the darkness lived below, Beneath the altar, beneath the snow. But when you leave and the morning arrives, Look in the mirror— AND COUNT THE EYES. [Outro — Fading Whisper, Distorted] Exorcism complete... Entity expelled... All doors secured... All candles extinguished... [Long Silence] ...Then who is standing behind you? [Deep Demonic Growl] I NEVER LEFT.
