Pact of Ashes

(Verse 1)

Candlelight flickering low, I was desperate then

Bleeding dreams down on the floor, nothing left to spend

He stepped out the shadow edge, smile like a blade

Said "I’ll give you the world, just your soul in trade"

I was hungry, I was hollow, I didn’t read the fine print

Signed my name in smoke, thought the pain would end

He said "Easy, child, this is freedom you’ve found"

But the moment ink turned black… everything went wrong

(Pre-Chorus)

Golden promises turned to chains inside my chest

Every breath I take, I feel the debt I can’t arrest

He laughs when I shiver, he feeds on my fear

Said "You asked for this, darling — now the cost is clear"

(Chorus)

Oh, I made a deal with the devil, thought I’d rule the night

But he locked my joy away and left the darkness bright

Now it burns beneath my skin, won’t let me rest

Internal fire that never ends, no beat of my chest

I regret it, I regret it, every single breath

Trapped in this forever pain till my dying death

Sold my soul for nothing — just a hollow, empty crown

The devil took my life and turned it upside down

(Verse 2)

Thought I’d be the queen of stars, master of my fate

Instead I’m a prisoner inside my own head, late

At night he whispers cruel things, twists every thought

Says "You belong to me now — you can never walk away"

My bones ache, my heart feels heavy like lead

Every smile I force is just a mask I wear instead

I try to scream but no sound comes out at all

He sealed my voice the day I answered to his call

(Pre-Chorus)

Golden promises turned to chains inside my chest

Every breath I take, I feel the debt I can’t arrest

He laughs when I shiver, he feeds on my fear

Said "You asked for this, darling — now the cost is clear"

(Chorus)

Oh, I made a deal with the devil, thought I’d rule the night

But he locked my joy away and left the darkness bright

Now it burns beneath my skin, won’t let me rest

Internal fire that never ends, no beat of my chest

I regret it, I regret it, every single breath

Trapped in this forever pain till my dying death

Sold my soul for nothing — just a hollow, empty crown

The devil took my life and turned it upside down

(Bridge)

（music slows, synths turn cold and echoing）

I begged him on my knees, said take it back, please

He just smiled and shook his head, said "The contract never frees"

It’s forever, it’s forever, this ache inside my veins

No escape, no release, no breaking free these chains

I made my bed in darkness, now in darkness I lie

Crying tears that never dry, watching hope just… die

(Outro)

Deal with the devil…

Regret it every day…

Pain is all I have now…

Forever to pay…

(fades out on a single, hollow synth note)
