The Demon Was Never Gone

V6

[INTRO — DJ_DEVIL_DEATH — SPOKEN, LOW] You remember what I told you? Carno died. The wives were gone. The mansion went quiet. And everybody thought... the nightmare was over. Hahahaha... But there was one little problem. The demon. It was never gone. It was waiting. And then... Adrienne opened the door. [VERSE 1] She came into the mansion looking for a place to write, A quiet little refuge underneath the dying light. She found the old photographs, the secrets in the walls, Never knowing something ancient was listening to it all. Carno's name kept appearing like a ghost inside the page. Stories of a magician. Stories written in his rage. She followed every secret, pulled another thread, Never understanding what was waiting up ahead. The chapel held a darkness the years could never kill. A locked and hidden secret waiting underneath the still. And when Adrienne found it... She had a choice to make. Walk away from the nightmare... Or open up the gate. [PRE-CHORUS] She broke the seal... The silence cracked. Something ancient... came crawling back. [CHORUS] THE DEMON WAS NEVER GONE! IT WAS WAITING IN THE DARK! SLEEPING UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE! WAITING FOR ANOTHER SPARK! YOU CAN BURY EVIL! YOU CAN LOCK IT IN A ROOM! BUT WHEN SOMEBODY BREAKS THE SEAL... THE DEAD COME BACK TOO SOON! THE DEMON WAS NEVER GONE! [VERSE 2] The air inside the mansion changed the second that it woke. Candles danced without a wind. The darkness started to choke. Adrienne felt the presence before she knew its name. Something ancient had returned... And nothing stayed the same. She thought she found a mystery. A story from the past. But the past wasn't finished... And the curse was built to last. The mansion wasn't haunted by some harmless ghostly shade. It was holding something hungry that Carno couldn't tame. And somewhere in the darkness... something saw her face. Something that had waited... for another human host. [DJ_DEVIL_DEATH — SPOKEN] See... Carno made the mistake of thinking the demon belonged to him. Adrienne made a different mistake. She thought the story was finished because the magician was dead. [PAUSE] Hahahaha... It wasn't. [VERSE 3] Then Don started changing, little pieces at a time. A temper turning colder. A darkness in his eyes. Adrienne saw the husband she loved slipping away, While something from the mansion grew stronger every day. The man beside her breathing wasn't always just the man. Something else was reaching through him, something nobody could understand. The house began to close around her. Every hallway became a trap. Every secret she uncovered pulled the nightmare further back. Carno was gone... But his legacy remained. The demon found a doorway... And Don became the frame. [PRE-CHORUS] She called his name... He looked away. Something else... was wearing his face. [CHORUS] THE DEMON WAS NEVER GONE! IT WAS WAITING IN THE DARK! SLEEPING UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE! WAITING FOR ANOTHER SPARK! YOU CAN BURY EVIL! YOU CAN LOCK IT IN A ROOM! BUT WHEN SOMEBODY BREAKS THE SEAL... THE DEAD COME BACK TOO SOON! THE DEMON WAS NEVER GONE! [BREAKDOWN — DJ_DEVIL_DEATH] Adrienne... Run. Don't look back. Don't trust the house. Don't trust the man. And whatever you do... Don't let the demon finish what Carno started. [HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DROP] Because now... it has a body. It has a voice. It has a face. And it wants her. [VERSE 4] She ran through the corridors with the mansion closing in. Every door became a question. Every shadow wore a grin. The woman who came searching for a story found the truth. And the house that promised shelter was now hunting for its proof. Don followed like a nightmare, the darkness in control. Adrienne fought desperately to reach his buried soul. But love can't always save you when something else has taken hold. Sometimes you survive the darkness by becoming just as cold. [BRIDGE — QUIET] The demon wanted Adrienne. The mansion wanted fear. Don was disappearing. And the ending... was getting near. [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE] THE DEMON WAS NEVER GONE! IT WAS WAITING ALL THIS TIME! CARNO'S SHADOW STILL REMAINS, ETCHED INTO THE HOUSE'S MIND! YOU CAN BURY EVERY SECRET! YOU CAN SEAL EVERY DOOR! BUT EVIL ALWAYS FINDS A WAY... TO COME BACK FOR MORE! THE DEMON WAS NEVER GONE... AND NOW IT'S WIDE AWAKE! [OUTRO — DJ_DEVIL_DEATH — SPOKEN] So here we are. The mansion has chosen its victim. Don is no longer completely himself. Adrienne is trapped. And the demon... has finally stepped back into the world. But Adrienne isn't dead yet. No... She's angry. And she's running out of places to run. Next... The Throne of Terror. One woman. One possessed husband. One final chance. [WHISPER] Let's see... who walks out of that house.
