[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Dark Blues Guitar Riff, Heavy Kick Drum, Low Organ Drone, Distorted Bass Pulse]
\nMidnight crawls across the floor
\nI hear a knock without a door
\nWhispers curling through the hall
\nLike something ancient in the wall<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\n[Arrangement: Swampy Guitar Groove, Steady Snare Backbeat, Faint Choir Pad, Fuzz Bass Undertone]
\nPromises carved in candle smoke
\nAs if truth begins as a joke
\nTemptation dressed in borrowed skin
\nSmiles like it\u2019s always been<\/p>\n
The choice you try to hide
\nEchoes louder deep inside
\nNo escape and no delay
\nJust the price you\u2019ll have to pay<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Arrangement: Driving Rock Rhythm, Heavy Power Chords, Chanting Back Vocals, Rising Organ Swell]
\nOh, well
\n(Raze hell)
\nRise until
\n(You recognize freewill)<\/p>\n
Oh, well
\n(Break the spell)
\nClimb through fire
\n(Climb higher!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\n[Arrangement: Syncopated Bassline, Sharp Guitar Stabs, Echo Delay Vocals, Tension-Building Percussion]
\nHe don\u2019t come with horns and flame
\nHe just calls you by your name
\nThe bargain feels like gold
\nTill the story starts to fold<\/p>\n
The \u201cyes\u201d you thought was free
\nWrites another prophecy
\nAnd the mirror starts to show
\nWhat you already know<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Gritty Slide Guitar, Deep Organ Sustains, Distant Thunder FX]
\nIf you stare into the flame
\nDon\u2019t pretend you don\u2019t feel the same
\nEvery shadow knows your face
\nEvery sin leaves a trace<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Layered Harmonies, Overdriven Guitars, Massive Drum Hits]
\nOh, well
\n(Raze hell)
\nRise until
\n(You recognize freewill)<\/p>\n
Oh, well
\n(Stand or fell)
\nOnly you decide
\n(To fall victim to pride)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Arrangement: Fading Guitar Feedback, Slow Drum Decay, Low Organ Hum, Whispered Vocal Echoes]
\nNo chains, no gate, no cell
\nJust the stories you must tell
\nAnd the fire you walk through still
\nTo recognize freewill.<\/p>\n
