[Intro — heartbeat bass, eerie music box, layered whispers] (Whispered voices) Hush... hush... They cast you out... They shut you out... (Mina, whispering) You should've left me in the dark... (Soft, sinister giggle) [Beat Drop] [Verse 1 — low, rhythmic, seductive vocals] I used to walk where the wild ones sleep Kept my secrets buried deep They drew the line, they shut the gate Now every breath I take spells fate I learned to smile, I learned to lie Kept all the thunder locked inside You saw a threat, you watched me fall Now watch me rise above you all (Whispered backing vocals) Rise... rise... rise... [Pre-Chorus — rising synths, layered whispers] You made a monster out of me Now tell me what you really see No more mercy, no disguise I see the fear behind your eyes (Whispers building) Take it back... take it back... (Mina, softly) Mine. (Short sinister laugh) [Chorus — catchy, bouncy bass, punchy drums, layered female vocals] In the dark, dark, dark You can hear my wicked heart Tick-tock, better run, run, run Look what you've become, become, become In the dark, dark, dark I'm the shadow, I'm the spark Ha-ha, now you're mine, mine, mine Better luck another time! (Backing whispers) Dark, dark, dark... [Post-Chorus — hypnotic groove, whispered call-and-response] (Mina) Who's afraid? (Whispers) You are, you are... (Mina) Who's to blame? (Whispers) You are, you are... (Mina laughs softly) Oh, don't look so surprised... (Deep bass pulse) I'm still alive. [Verse 2 — rhythmic, confident, playful menace] I don't need claws to make you bleed I plant a doubt, I grow a seed A little lie, a little trust Watch your whole kingdom turn to dust I'll wear their loyalty like gold Give them a story, leave them cold You think you know just who I am Then tell me why you fear my plans (Whispered voices) He knows... he knows... [Pre-Chorus 2 — rising tension, stronger harmonies] You made a monster out of me Now I'm the nightmare you can't flee No more mercy, no disguise I'll be the last thing in your eyes (Whispers accelerating) Take it back... take it back... (Mina, whispering) Everything. (Sinister giggle) [Chorus — fuller drums, layered vocals, dark choir] In the dark, dark, dark You can hear my wicked heart Tick-tock, better run, run, run Look what you've become, become, become In the dark, dark, dark I'm the shadow, I'm the spark Ha-ha, now you're mine, mine, mine Better luck another time! (Backing choir) Dark, dark, dark... [Bridge — stripped-back beat, ticking percussion, intimate whispers] Did you think I'd disappear? Did you think I'd drown in fear? Every scar became a sign Every loss was making mine (Whispers circling the lead) No crown... no throne... You're all alone... Too late... too late... (Mina laughs slowly) You wanted silence? I'll give you screams. You wanted peace? I'll haunt your dreams. (Complete beat cut) (Mina, sharply) I DON'T FORGIVE. [Final Chorus — explosive drums, stacked vocals, powerful harmonies] In the dark, dark, dark You can hear my wicked heart Tick-tock, better run, run, run Look what you've become, become, become In the dark, dark, dark I'm the shadow, I'm the spark Ha-ha, now you're mine, mine, mine Better luck another time! (Mina ad-libs) Mine, mine, mine... You can't hide, hide, hide... (Backing whispers) In the dark... in the dark... [Outro — fading beat, distorted whispers] (Mina, whispering) You hear that? (Pause) That's your kingdom falling. (Mina laughs softly, then sinisterly) You should've left me... (Whispered, long reverb) In the dark. (Silence)
