[INTRO — whispered] I heard the Devil call my name from somewhere underneath the flames. He said, “Son, the war has just begun.” Then handed me a loaded gun. [VERSE 1] Black clouds hanging over the city, sirens screaming through the night, soldiers marching with no mercy, every shadow wants a fight. I saw the Devil on the frontline, red eyes underneath his crown, said, “If you want to see tomorrow, better burn this whole thing down.” [PRE-CHORUS] I can hear the angels crying, I can feel the ground divide, every prayer becomes a weapon when there’s nowhere left to hide. [CHORUS] THE DEVIL’S AT THE GATES! And hell is marching with him! THE SKY IS TURNING BLACK! There ain’t nobody coming! If this is war, then let it rain, let every demon know my name! I won’t kneel— I WON’T BREAK! I’ll wear the Devil’s crown until the whole world shakes! [VERSE 2 — aggressive rhythmic delivery] Boots on the pavement, blood in the rain, voices in my head keep calling my name. Kingdoms collapsing, buildings ignite, everybody praying but nobody’s right. He said, “Give me your soul, I’ll give you the throne.” I said, “Keep your kingdom— I’d rather die alone.” Now the gates are wide open, hear the war drums pound, when the Devil starts laughing, you know judgment’s coming down. [BREAKDOWN — screamed] NO GOD! NO KING! NO MERCY! NO PEACE! WE CAME FOR THE WAR— NOW WE’RE BRINGING THE BEAST! [BRIDGE — clean, haunting] If I disappear tonight, don’t look for me in heaven. I made a deal with the darkness and I paid my debt in blood. Maybe I’m the soldier. Maybe I’m the sin. Maybe the Devil wasn’t waiting… Maybe he was always within. [FINAL CHORUS — massive] THE DEVIL’S AT THE GATES! And hell is marching with him! THE SKY IS TURNING BLACK! There ain’t nobody coming! If this is war, then let it rain, let every demon know my name! I WON’T KNEEL! I WON’T BREAK! I’ll wear the Devil’s crown until the whole world shakes! [OUTRO — whispered] When the war is over… there won’t be a kingdom left to rule.
