[Intro – Instrumental: Metallic hum, creaking leather, slow bass thump] (Door creaks. Footsteps. Lock clicks shut.) (Low industrial guitar riff rolls in like a chain being dragged.) --- [Verse 1 – Male Vocals (raspy, scared but charming)] I got bullets in my bag, and silver on my sleeve, I can get you names and passwords, babe, you wouldn’t believe. I know you’re here for blood, but hear a better deal— Spare my throat, I swear to God, I’ll make you something real. --- [Verse 2 – Female Vocals (soft, sultry melody)] You knocked like thunder in the dark, All wet with guilt and stinking bark. You spoke too loud, you lied too much, Now velvet wraps your final touch. --- [Verse 3 – Male Vocals (desperate, bargaining)] Wait—wait! I've got favors, secrets, plans, A map to Madam's rival clans. You want a soul? I’ve sold a few— But none of them were meant for you. --- [Verse 4 – Female Vocals (building in pitch and power)] You talk like rats beneath the floor, You scratch for pity at my door. You think I kill for coin or thrill? No, darling—this is sacred skill. --- [Chorus – female vocals (her voice rising, his voice trying to match)] You shouldn’t have knocked... You shouldn’t have knocked... You knew the rules, you heard the sound— This collar doesn’t come unwound. You came with breath, you’ll leave with rot... You knocked too loud. You knocked too hot. --- [Verse 5 – Male Vocals (panic rising)] I can lead you to the judge that burned your girls alive— I got tapes, I got teeth, I can help you survive! Whatever you want, I’ll spill, I’ll scream— Just don’t drag me into your dream. --- [Verse 6 – Female Vocals (rasping edge creeping in)] I was a child when they sold my name, Now I unmake men just the same. I bled in silence, stitched in black— Each life I take sews me back. --- [Bridge – Instrumental Break] [Grungy guitar solo – warped, distorted, layered with glitching effects] [female vocals Background whispers] "You shouldn’t have knocked..."[looped and fading in and out)] --- [Verse 7 – Male Vocals (sobbing, broken)] Take my hands, take my tongue, take the last of what I am— Take the name I never gave, take the blood, take the brand. Let me crawl, let me go, I was weak—I was scared— I was paid, I was tricked—I swear no one cared! --- [Verse 8 – Female Vocals (growling now)] You think this pain was meant for trade? You think I kill to get repaid? I kill for balance, I kill for breath— And now you're next. Embrace your death. --- [Final Chorus – Overlapping Chaos] [female vocals] You shouldn’t have knocked... [make vocals] I didn’t know! [female vocals] You shouldn’t have knocked... [male vocals] I didn’t mean to! [female vocals] There’s no key back, no window cracked— You’re just a name I now subtract. No fire, no flood, no blade you bought... Will change the fact—you knocked, and now you’re caught. --- [Final Verse – Female Vocals (full scream to whisper)] I gave you silence. You gave me sound. Now take your place beneath the ground. --- [Outro – Spoken, Female Whisper, Cold and Final] “You shouldn’t have knocked.” (Sound of blade unsheathing. One final distorted bass thrum. Silence.)
