[Intro — Devil] Welcome downstairs. Funny thing about Hell— everybody arrives carrying somebody else’s name for what they did. [Verse 1] I watched Cain raise a hand in the morning, watched Abel become history by noon, watched mankind blame the snake for the apple like the teeth in their mouths had nothing to do. You call me monster, paint me scarlet, give me horns so yours don’t show, but I never needed fire to burn a family, humans learned that trick alone. [Pre-Chorus] Pressure makes diamonds—cute little phrase, tell that to glass when the whole house shakes. Tell that to bridges carrying too much weight: too much pressure doesn’t strengthen— too much pressure makes it break. [Chorus] MONSTER! Look through the Devil’s eyes. Hell got a mirror at the entrance, every sinner looks surprised. MONSTER! Smoke crawling through my brain, I can taste bullets in the atmosphere, iron sitting on my tongue like rain. You wanted Heaven while feeding the flame— don’t give the Devil credit for the choices bearing your name. [Outro] Maybe Hell isn’t underneath us. Maybe Hell begins when nobody takes responsibility.
