Don’t be gentle, that was never the plan. (She doesn’t want rescue. She wants what I am.) I’m the one who’s holding the end of the chain, And she can call it surrender, I’ll call it the same. This was never a question of if, only when. And the answer is now. It has always been. [Verse 1] I’ve seen every move before you make it, every play of the game, Every woman who thought she could touch me and walk away the same. But you’re not here to tame me, you came here to claim the ravenous beast beneath the name. So I’ll feed you the bounty and let you feel the weight, Every locked room, every door, every merciless gate. You think this is chaos, you think this is wild, This is patience. This is purpose. This is perfectly styled. [Pre-Chorus] I know what you want. I know what you need. And there’s no going back from here. [Chorus] It’s a deep hunger, a black and consuming claim, A beautiful, merciless fire I’m putting to your name. Break the doors, let the iron turn to rust, I don’t ask, I don’t beg, I do what I must. I’m the lord of the fallen, the king of the night, And I’ve got you bare and surrendered, and I’ve won this fight. The clock is stopped. My ache is deep. Found you. Got you. You’re mine to keep. With me in the dark. Where you were always meant to be.
