Demon Inside

Verse 1

I hear it whisper in the dead of night,

A voice in the darkness that feeds on my fright.

It knows every scar, every secret I hide,

It lives in the shadows, deep down inside.

It tells me I'm broken, I'm destined to fall,

That I'll never be strong enough to face it at all.

But I've swallowed my pain, let it poison my soul,

Now I'm done being prisoner, it's time to take control.

Pre-Chorus

I've run from the mirror, I've buried the shame,

I've cursed at the heavens, I've drowned in the flame.

But if I'm the battlefield, if I'm the war,

Then I'll be the warrior I've been waiting for!

Chorus

I'll face the demon inside!

With fire in my heart and steel in my spine!

I'll stand in the darkness, I'll stare in its eyes,

You won't take my soul, you won't break my mind!

I've crawled through the ashes, I've bled through the night,

But the beast that I carry won't win this fight!

I am the thunder, I am the light!

I faced my demon — AND I WON TONIGHT!

Verse 2

I walk through the ruins of all I have been,

Past the ghosts of my failures, the weight of my sins.

There's a war in my blood, there's a storm in my chest,

And I'm done with surrender, I'm done with regret.

It wears my own face, speaks with my own tongue,

Reminds me of every damn thing I've done wrong.

But the voice that once ruled me is losing its hold,

For the heart of a lion beats deep in my soul.

Pre-Chorus

No more running, no more chains,

I won't drown beneath the pain.

Let the heavens split apart,

I have found the strength to start!

Chorus

I'll face the demon inside!

With fire in my heart and steel in my spine!

I'll stand in the darkness, I'll stare in its eyes,

You won't take my soul, you won't break my mind!

I've crawled through the ashes, I've bled through the night,

But the beast that I carry won't win this fight!

I am the thunder, I am the light!

I faced my demon — AND I WON TONIGHT!

Bridge — Slow, Heavy, Building

Look at me now!

I am still standing!

You gave me the darkness—

I turned it to lightning!

You fed on my weakness,

You thrived on my fear,

But the end of your reign

Is the moment I'm here!

(Whispered)

You are not my master...

(Building to a scream)

YOU ARE NOT MY FATE!

Guitar Solo — Explosive, Emotional

Breakdown — Heavy, Half-Time

I AM THE FLAME!

YOU ARE THE ASH!

I AM THE FUTURE!

YOU ARE THE PAST!

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE!

YOU HAD YOUR TIME!

THIS SOUL IS MINE!

THIS SOUL IS MINE!

Final Chorus — Full Power

I faced the demon inside!

With fire in my heart and steel in my spine!

I stood in the darkness, looked evil in the eyes,

And watched it crumble as I reclaimed my life!

I've risen from ashes, I've conquered the night,

The scars that you gave me are now battle cries!

I am the thunder, I am the light!

I FACED MY DEMON — AND I WON THE FIGHT!

Outro — Quiet, Then Defiant

There's silence inside me...

No voice in the dark.

Just the sound of a heartbeat,

Just the fire, just the spark.

The demon is fading.

The fear is all gone.

I stared into hell...

And I walked out reborn.
