Kicked out of Hell by Nyx Ryder

**[INTRO — spoken, distorted, almost laughing]** I got kicked out of Hell. Yeah. Apparently I was too much. Cute. **[VERSE 1]** I came through the fire with my boots on clean, Black smoke halo, gasoline queen. Devil at the doorway said, “Girl, know your place,” So I put my middle finger right up in his face. He said, “You’re trouble.” I said, “No shit.” He called me a slut — I said, “I own it, bitch.” You built a kingdom out of fear and lies, But I’ve seen better monsters behind human eyes. You think those horns make you dangerous? Please. I make damnation look glamorous. **[PRE-CHORUS]** Heaven couldn’t hold him, Hell couldn’t hold me. One of us is bitter — Guess who’s running free? You fell from grace ‘Cause your ego got bruised. I walked through your fire And came out amused. **[CHORUS]** I GOT KICKED OUT OF HELL ‘CAUSE I WAS TOO MUCH! Kicked the Devil’s ass ‘Cause he was out of touch. He called me a slut — I said, “Fuck off!” Yeah, I’m a slut, And you’re still a bitch, boss. You got thrown from Heaven, I got thrown from Hell. You cried about God — I rang the fucking bell. Talking all that shit Like you don’t know me well— Say my name. **NYX RYDER.** I’m the bitch they kicked out of Hell. **[POST-CHORUS]** Out of Hell! Out of Hell! Too wild for Heaven, Too loud for Hell. Out of Hell! Out of Hell! You wanted a sinner? Baby, ring the bell. **[VERSE 2]** He sat on his throne like a washed-up king, Talking ‘bout rebellion like he invented the thing. Jealous little bastard with a martyr complex, Still obsessed with Heaven and his daddy issues next. You started one war And made it your name. I start one riot And they remember my face. You tempt weak souls? That’s adorable, babe. I don’t need temptation— I misbehave. No chains. No master. No holy command. You offered me Hell, I took over the band. Now the demons are drinking, The angels are pissed, And your whole damn kingdom Is singing like this— **[PRE-CHORUS]** Heaven couldn’t hold him, Hell couldn’t hold me. He begs for attention. I make history. You fell from grace ‘Cause your pride got abused. I walked through your fire In six-inch boots. **[CHORUS]** I GOT KICKED OUT OF HELL ‘CAUSE I WAS TOO MUCH! Kicked the Devil’s ass ‘Cause he was out of touch. He called me a slut — I said, “Fuck off!” Yeah, I’m a slut, And you’re still a bitch, boss. You got thrown from Heaven, I got thrown from Hell. You cried about God — I rang the fucking bell. Talking all that shit Like you don’t know me well— Say my name. **NYX RYDER.** I’m the bitch they kicked out of Hell. **[BREAKDOWN — half-time, filthy distorted bass]** You were kicked out of Heaven For being a jealous bastard. I was kicked out of Hell For being a fucking disaster. You wanted obedience. Wrong girl. You wanted shame. Wrong girl. You wanted me on my knees? **FUCK. YOU.** I DON’T KNEEL. **[HEAVY BREAKDOWN]** I DON’T KNEEL! I DON’T BEG! I DON’T BOW TO HORNS OR HALOS! I DON’T KNEEL! I DON’T BREAK! PUT MY NAME ON YOUR FUCKING GATES! **NYX!** **RYDER!** **NYX!** **RYDER!** **[BRIDGE — stripped back, dark and seductive]** Maybe I’m wicked. Maybe I’m vain. Maybe I learned how to dance with the pain. Maybe I’m filthy. Maybe I bite. Maybe your darkness Just ain’t dark enough tonight. So keep your commandments. Keep your throne. I’d rather burn Than belong to anyone. And if there’s nowhere left For a woman like me— Good. I’ll build my own eternity. **[BUILD]** No Heaven. No Hell. No master. No shame. If God won’t have me And Satan complains— I’ll carve my initials Straight into the flames. **[FINAL CHORUS — HUGE]** I GOT KICKED OUT OF HELL ‘CAUSE I WAS TOO MUCH! Kicked the Devil’s ass ‘Cause he was out of touch. He called me a slut — I said, “FUCK OFF!” Yeah, I’m a slut, And I’m still on top. You got thrown from Heaven, I got thrown from Hell. Difference is, baby— **I WEAR IT WELL.** Talking all that shit From your miserable cell— Say my fucking name. **NYX RYDER.** THE BITCH THEY KICKED OUT OF HELL! **[OUTRO — crowd chant / feedback]** KICKED OUT! **OF HELL!** KICKED OUT! **OF HELL!** Too much for Heaven! Too much for Hell! **NYX! RYDER!** Yeah... Tell the Devil I said— **Fuck off.**
