Let The Devil In

Lyrics

[Intro - whispered shamanic chants, distant thunder, warped vinyl crackle]
Knock, knock, I feel the cold step in,
lantern low and the moonlight thin,
voices crawl through the hollow skin,
say my name and let the dark begin.

[Verse 1 - sinister nu hip-hop flow, booming 808s, eerie synth pulses, low cinematic strings]
Manevolent, I’ve been meaner than sin,
head in a spin like a blade in the wind,
medicine screaming, “l-l-let us in,”
red-eyed prayer in a bloodstained grin.
I been bedridden, death missed me by a mile,
should’ve been a memory a long, long while,
liquid cold in a paper cup smile,
felt my bones go soft in the fire and bile.
Wicked when the scent hits, I rise from the still,
night gets loud and it bends to my will,
saw the smoke and I drank it until
the whole black room went quiet and chilled.

[Pre-Chorus - glitching chants, rising strings, layered choir tension]
Ohhh, hear the drum of the underground,
ohhh, feel the shadow move around,
ohhh, when the dead come back to sound,
I don’t run, I go deeper down.

[Chorus - massive cinematic choir, distorted bass, tribal drums, explosive dark synth hook]
Let the devil in, let the devil in,
I’m the spark in the ash where the ruin begins,
let the devil in, let the devil in,
if I break, I return with a grin.
Let the devil in, let the devil in,
hear the choir scream, hear the violins spin,
let the devil in, let the devil in,
I go down, then I rise again.

[Verse 2 - darker trap cadence, glitch stutters, ominous brass hits, whispered ad-libs]
Like a bowl of the cursed with a poet’s stare,
ink on my tongue and a storm in my hair,
every room I enter gets thinner with air,
every prayer I knew turns to static and prayer.
I been through hell with the matches lit,
walked through flames like I mastered it,
threw my shadow in the pit,
heard it laugh when I vanished in it.
If the bones shake, let ’em rattle and sing,
if the night wants more, I’ll offer the ring,
I been split wide open by a blackened thing,
still I spit out sparks when the sirens ring.

[Bridge - stripped-back choir, ritual drums, ghostly chanting, haunting strings]
Breathe in the smoke, breathe out the pain,
call my name through the acid rain,
if I fall, I fall in flames,
but I never stay buried the same.

[Final Chorus - bigger choir, heavier 808s, pounding drums, soaring dark orchestration]
Let the devil in, let the devil in,
I’m the spark in the ash where the ruin begins,
let the devil in, let the devil in,
if I break, I return with a grin.
Let the devil in, let the devil in,
hear the choir scream, hear the violins spin,
let the devil in, let the devil in,
I go down, then I rise again.

[Outro - fading chants, reversed synths, distant thunder, echo-drenched vocals]
Knock, knock, I feel the cold step in,
lantern low and the moonlight thin,
voices crawl through the hollow skin,
say my name and let the dark begin.
