Four of Cups

[intro] [Verse 1] Three cups before me, hollow and plain, A fourth in the shadows, calling my name. The world feeds me lies, a lukewarm embrace, But Satan whispers, "Seek the untamed." [Verse 2] The masses kneel, their prayers like dust, But I crave the venom, the bite of distrust. A throne of my making, a crown of my will, No god can command me—I hunger still. [Pre chorus] I turn my back on the offered deceit, No chains of heaven will shackle my feet. The fire inside burns brighter than gold, A truth in the darkness, fearless and cold. [Chorus] I won’t drink from your poisoned grace, I choose the chalice of my own fate. The fourth cup bleeds with forbidden light, And I’ll drown in its depths tonight. [Refrain] Pour me the wine of the fallen divine, I’ll take what’s mine, I’ll take what’s mine! [interlude] [Bridge] The hand extends, but I see the cost, A bargain of shadows, a soul never lost. I’ll carve my name in the void’s embrace, And laugh as the heavens rot in disgrace. [interlude] [Verse 3] The third cup’s empty, the second’s a lie, The first was a dream—I let it die. But the fourth cup pulses, alive with the curse, A baptism of fire to shatter the verse. [Verse 4] So let the world cling to its shallow deceit, I’ll drink the stars and walk on the heat. For Satan’s gift was never for free, But neither was I—and now I’m free. [Pre chorus] I turn my back on the offered deceit, No chains of heaven will shackle my feet. The fire inside burns brighter than gold, A truth in the darkness, fearless and cold. [Chorus] I won’t drink from your poisoned grace, I choose the chalice of my own fate. The fourth cup bleeds with forbidden light, And I’ll drown in its depths tonight. [Outro] Three cups shattered, the fourth runs deep, A covenant sworn where the lost souls weep. No savior’s hand, no angel’s plea— Just me, the dark, and the devil’s creed.
