Sweet Inferno

[Verse 1 – The Candyman’s Chorus] Step right up, my sugar dolls, the show’s about to start! Gumdrop dreams and licorice screams, I’ll tear your world apart! The floorboards hum, the circus drums, the crowd begins to cheer, It’s time for sweets and tragedy — your ending’s drawing near! [Pre-Chorus – The Cornettes, singing backup] “Candy, candy, melt and scream, Drip like sugar in the dream!” (Their laughter echoes, sticky-sweet, As blood and syrup mix beneath your feet.) [Chorus – The Candyman] Ha-ha! Dance, my little firefly, Burn bright before you die! I’ll coat your soul in chocolate lies, And lick the ash from your goodbyes! [Verse 2 – Alice’s Response] You call it sweet — I call it sin. Your sugar kingdom’s caving in. The taste of fear, the heat of pain, I’ll burn your smile again, again! My tail cuts deep, my voice ignites, I am the hunger you invite! Your circus fades, your colors die — Now taste the flames that never lie! [Bridge – Dice’s Commentary, playful tone] (Dice: “Oh-ho, look at that — fire and frosting! Never thought I’d see a boss fight turn into a bake sale. Carry on, sweets, carry on — I’m placing bets on who melts first.”) [Final Chorus – Duet] Candyman: I’ll devour you whole, my molten muse! Alice: You’re sweet, but I refuse! Candyman: You’ll join my stage — Alice: You’ll feel my rage! Both: We’re just two sides of one cruel game! Alice (solo) Now crumble, Candy King — Your sweetness rots, your song won’t sing. From sugar, dust — from lust, rebirth, I burn your heaven into earth. [Outro – Choir of Cornettes] “Candy melts, fire bites, One burns out, one lights the night. Dice rolls on, the story spins — In Candyland, no one truly wins.”
