Heart on the Scale

V5.5

[INTRO — WHISPERED] Step forward… Don't hide your heart. Anubis holds the scale. Ma'at holds the truth. Thoth records the answer. And me? I wait. [VERSE 1 — DARK RAP] Crocodile teeth when you step in my domain, Lion in my chest, hear the hunger in my name. Hippo legs heavy when I rise from the sand, Three beasts in one—now you know what I am. I don't chase the living, I don't hunt the weak, I wait beside the balance For the truth that you speak. You can dress yourself in gold, Put a crown upon your head, But the heart knows everything You thought nobody read. Every lie that you buried, Every promise that you broke, Every wound you left behind, Every word you never spoke. [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING] Put your heart upon the scale. Let the feather tell the tale. If your truth can't hold the weight… I'll be waiting at the gate. [CHORUS — HUGE] I AM AMMIT. THE DEVOURER OF THE DEAD. I don't need your prayers, I don't bow to what you said. I AM AMMIT. When your heart becomes too heavy, When the truth comes crashing down, I'll be there to take what's left. Heart on the scale. Truth in the air. If your soul is clean, You won't find me there. But if your heart betrays you… I'll be waiting. [VERSE 2 — FASTER / AGGRESSIVE RAP] You thought death was the ending? No, the judgment comes after. No mask, no performance, No fake smile, no laughter. You can't buy your way through, Can't charm your way free, Can't rewrite every scar That you carved into somebody. Forty-two declarations, Say your name, say your truth. Every word hits the chamber, Every lie comes back to you. Thoth writes it down, Anubis watches the weight, Osiris sits in silence While I wait beside the gate. Ma'at doesn't bend. The feather doesn't lie. And when the heart sinks lower— I open my eyes. [PRE-CHORUS] Put your heart upon the scale. Let the feather tell the tale. If your truth can't hold the weight… I'll be waiting at the gate. [CHORUS] I AM AMMIT. THE DEVOURER OF THE DEAD. I don't need your prayers, I don't bow to what you said. I AM AMMIT. When your heart becomes too heavy, When the truth comes crashing down, I'll be there to take what's left. Heart on the scale. Truth in the air. If your soul is clean, You won't find me there. But if your heart betrays you… I'll be waiting. [BRIDGE — DARK / ALMOST SPOKEN] Beat drops out. Deep drone + female chant. Don't call me cruel. I didn't write your story. I didn't fill your heart with greed… with hatred… with betrayal. I only wait for the scale. And the scale doesn't lie. [BREAKDOWN — HEAVY 808] Crocodile bite. Lion's rage. Hippo weight. Ancient cage. You can't run. You can't hide. Your truth walks in right by your side. WEIGH IT. WEIGH IT. WEIGH IT. LET IT FALL. [FINAL CHORUS — EPIC] I AM AMMIT. THE DEVOURER OF THE DEAD. Three beasts in my body, Ancient hunger in my head. I AM AMMIT. Keeper of the final consequence. When the feather tells the truth, There is nowhere left to run. Heart on the scale. Truth in the air. If you lived with honor, You have nothing to fear. But if your heart is heavy… If your soul can't stand… I'll open up my jaws— AND TAKE WHAT MA'AT HAS DAMNED. [OUTRO — WHISPERED] The scale has spoken. The heart has fallen. And now… I eat.
