Hell Doesn't Sleep

[INTRO — low whisper] Three knocks at the door… I didn’t invite him in. But he came anyway. [VERSE 1] Red moon hanging over downtown, black smoke crawling through the street, everybody running from the sirens, but the Devil walking calmly through the heat. He said, “I’ve been watching you.” I said, “I’ve been watching too.” He smiled like he already knew exactly what I’d do. Now the sky is cracking open, all the stars are falling down, every angel lost its wings when the Devil came to town. [PRE-CHORUS] And I hear that voice again, whispering beneath my skin: “Pick a side, pick a side…” [CHORUS] HELL DOESN’T SLEEP! HELL DOESN’T WAIT! THE DEVIL’S GOT AN ARMY STANDING AT THE GATE! I CAN HEAR THE CANNONS, I CAN FEEL THE GROUND! WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS MARCHING, THERE AIN’T NO TURNING ’ROUND! HELL DOESN’T SLEEP! SO NEITHER DO I! [VERSE 2 — aggressive] Black boots hit the pavement, red lights fill the rain, every soldier got a demon whispering inside their brain. He offered me a kingdom, said, “I’ll make you immortal.” I looked behind his shoulder— there were millions at the portal. I said, “Keep your kingdom, keep your throne of bones. I’d rather rule the battlefield than die beneath your throne.” [BREAKDOWN] MARCH! MARCH! MARCH! TILL THE EARTH COLLAPSES! NO GOD! NO MERCY! NO WAY BACK! [BRIDGE — clean / emotional] If I lose myself tonight, tell my mother I was fighting. If the heavens close their doors, I’ll keep walking through the fire. I don’t need a halo. I don’t need a crown. I just need one more chance to take this Devil down. [FINAL CHORUS — massive] HELL DOESN’T SLEEP! HELL DOESN’T WAIT! THE DEVIL’S GOT AN ARMY STANDING AT THE GATE! I CAN HEAR THE CANNONS, I CAN FEEL THE GROUND! WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS MARCHING, THERE AIN’T NO TURNING ’ROUND! HELL DOESN’T SLEEP! AND TONIGHT… NEITHER DO I. [OUTRO — whispered] Three knocks at the door… This time… I’m knocking back.
