Beneath the Demon Skin remastered

V6

[Verse 1] She was only a child when the Watcher came, Pulled her from the shadows, taught her how to take aim. A blade in her hand, with a promise in her heart, “Demons have no feelings, tear their darkness apart.” He was born in the darkness, bred to destroy, A creature without mercy, without love or joy. Black charcoal skin and a heart made of stone, He’d never known kindness, he’d only known hate alone. [Pre-Chorus] Then they met beneath the moonlight, Steel against the flame, Two sworn enemies fighting Again and again. But something changed… [Chorus] Crack, crack, crack — let the red light in, Break, break, break — through the demon skin. Born to be a monster, Born to never feel, But every time she fought him, Something inside him healed. Crack, crack, crack — now the darkness fades, Love is growing stronger with every swing of the blade. She thought she was defeating him, But never understood… She wasn’t killing the demon, She was bringing back the good. [Verse 2] Day after day, they met beneath the trees, She came with her sword, he came on his knees. Not because he feared her, not because he was weak, But because there were feelings he could no longer keep. The black began fading from his skin, Human flesh appeared where the darkness had been. And deep in his chest, where nothing once grew, A glowing crimson heartbeat began beating for her too. [Pre-Chorus] She saw him pulling backwards, Thought victory was near. She never saw the reason, She never saw the fear. He was becoming human… [Chorus] Crack, crack, crack — let the red light in, Break, break, break — through the demon skin. Born to be a monster, Born to never feel, But every time she fought him, Something inside him healed. Crack, crack, crack — now the darkness fades, Love is growing stronger with every swing of the blade. She thought she was defeating him, But never understood… She wasn’t killing the demon, She was bringing back the good. [Bridge] He could have ended her a thousand times, But love had crossed the battle line. Every wound became a doorway, Every fight revealed a little more. The monster she’d been trained to hate Was disappearing before her eyes, And underneath the demon’s skin A human heart had come alive. [Final Chorus] Crack, crack, crack — let the red light in, Break, break, break — through the demon skin. She was born to hunt him, He was born to kill, But somehow love had found them And made their hearts stand still. Crack, crack, crack — now the darkness is gone, Two broken souls where there was only one. She thought she was defeating him, But now she finally sees… The demon never conquered love, Love conquered the demon in him. [Outro] Born a demon… Raised to hate… She was taught to end him… But love rewrote his fate.
