Still Here After Midnight

V6

[INTRO — LOW SUB-BASS RUMBLE, DARK ATMOSPHERE] [FEMALE SPOKEN VOICE — MATURE, DEEP, SMOKY, SULTRY, SLOW AND CONFIDENT] "Mmmm... Devil's Underground Inc..." [SHORT PAUSE — WHISPERING ECHO] "Where darkness has a voice..." [FEMALE VOICE — DEEPER, SINISTER, PLAYFUL] "Presenting... DEVIL... DEATH." [DEEP DEMONIC CHUCKLE — 808 BASS DROP] [HAUNTING PIANO — DISTANT THUNDER — SLOW GUITAR] [DEVIL DEATH — DEEP GRAVELLY MALE SPOKEN] Heh... Funny thing about the darkness... Everybody's scared of what's hiding in it. Me? I'm more scared of what walks around in daylight. [LOW CHUCKLE] Some of us never really clock out... [VERSE 1 — DEVIL DEATH — DEEP SOUTHERN HORRORCORE RAP] Three in the morning, got my thoughts on repeat, Another sleepless night with these demons I keep. Forty-one years and a lifetime of scars, Still searching for peace underneath these stars. Seen friends turn strangers, seen love turn cold, Seen promises break and the truth get sold. I learned real quick what a handshake means, Sometimes smiling faces hide the darkest things. Got a Scorpio mind that remembers the pain, A heart full of thunder and a head full of rain. I ain't asking for pity, I ain't looking for praise, Just trying to find some light in these goddamn days. Somewhere out there, another soul understands, Another voice in the darkness with blood on his hands. Not from killing, just from holding on tight, To everything that tried to disappear overnight. [PRE-CHORUS — DEVIL DEATH — LOW MELODIC RASP] And when the whole damn world goes quiet, And the memories come alive... I hear another voice out in the darkness, Saying we ain't done tonight. [CHORUS — DEVIL DEATH ONLY — HUGE MELODIC HOOK] WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT! Still breathing when the stars don't shine! Two dark souls with a thousand scars, Still reaching through the night! WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT! When the whole damn world says goodbye! They can bury our names in the dirt, But they can't bury what's alive! Ohhh... we're still here... Still here after midnight! [VERSE 2 — DEVIL DEATH — DARK EMOTIONAL HORRORCORE RAP] Clock struck twelve, but the shadows stayed, Another black rose on a shallow grave. Ink on the page where the feelings bleed, Trying to make some sense of the things we need. They see his fangs, they see the black, But they don't see the weight that he's carrying back. They see a vampire beneath the moon, Never hear the heartbreak hiding in the tune. He's got a crypt full of words that he never said, A thousand little storms running through his head. So he turns that pain into another track, Puts his heart in the music and he don't look back. Clocked Out Ink, yeah, the darkness speaks, For the outsiders fighting through another week. If you're still out there and you're barely getting by, There's another voice singing underneath this sky. [PRE-CHORUS — DEVIL DEATH — HAUNTED LOW MELODY] And when the last light disappears, And the silence gets too loud... There's a heartbeat underneath the ashes, That nobody can put out. [CHORUS — DEVIL DEATH ONLY — HEAVY GUITARS] WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT! Still breathing when the stars don't shine! Two dark souls with a thousand scars, Still reaching through the night! WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT! When the whole damn world says goodbye! They can bury our names in the dirt, But they can't bury what's alive! [BREAKDOWN — DISTORTED GUITAR — CRUSHING 808] [DEVIL DEATH — GRAVELLY SPOKEN RAP] Black Impala rolling through the rain, Purple lights glowing through the pain. A black hearse pulls up by my side, Another shadow taking the midnight ride. [DEVIL DEATH — DEEP LOW SPOKEN] Different roads... Same darkness... Different scars... Same fight... Clocked Out Ink... Devil's Underground... [DEVIL DEATH — FORCEFUL GROWL] WE AIN'T FUCKING DONE TONIGHT! [FINAL CHORUS — DEVIL DEATH ONLY — EXPLOSIVE RAP ROCK] WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT! Through the heartbreak, through the fight! You can knock us down a thousand times, We'll get back up tonight! WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT! Two stories cutting through the night! The world can turn its back on us, WE'LL STILL BE BURNING BRIGHT! [OUTRO — PIANO RETURNS — RAIN FALLING] [DEVIL DEATH — LOW SPOKEN] Heh... Funny how two strangers... Can hear the same pain in different songs. Sometimes that's how the darkness brings people together. [DEVIL DEATH — QUIET CHUCKLE] Well, brother... Guess we'll see where this road goes. [FINAL PIANO NOTE — HEARTBEAT FADES]
