Forever Has a Price

[Intro — low synth pulse, whispered] You came looking for him… But you don't understand. He isn't yours anymore. [Verse 1] You knew him when the sun was high, When he still wore daylight in his eyes, Before I found him in the dark, Before I left my permanent mark. You think you can take him back, Pull him out of the life I gave, But there's no road through the shadows That leads back to the grave. He sleeps beneath my roof now, He wakes when the sun goes down, He's learned the language of the night, And he's wearing it like a crown. [Pre-Chorus] You want to stay beside him? You want to cross that line? Then there's something you must give me… [Chorus] He is mine. He belongs to me now. He's got a new bloodline, A new family underground. You want to stay with him? You want to share his night? Everything has a price, darling— Are you willing to take my bite? He is mine. Don't you understand? The boy you came here looking for Is no longer the same man [Verse 2] I've given him a different hunger, I've given him a different name, I've shown him what the darkness does When you stop resisting the game. He doesn't fear the midnight, He doesn't dream of the dawn, And every night he gets stronger While your world keeps moving on. You could walk away right now, Keep your heartbeat, keep your soul, Or you could follow him below me And surrender all control. [Pre-Chorus] You want what he has now? You want to share his fate? Then open up the gate, darling… [Chorus] He is mine. He belongs to me now. He's got a new bloodline, A new family underground. You want to stay with him? You want to share his night? Everything has a price, darling— Is it one you can afford tonight? He is mine. Don't make me say it twice. You can have forever with him… But forever has a price. [Bridge — stripped-down bass, whispered vocals] One drop… Two hearts… One choice… You could keep your mortal life, Walk away beneath the stars… Or give me your daylight. Give me your heartbeat. Give me the person you were. And I'll give you eternity. [Synth crescendo] But understand this— You don't get him back. You join us… Or you leave him to the pack. [Final Chorus — huge, dramatic] He is mine! He belongs to me now! He's got a new bloodline, You can't break his vow! You want to stay with him? Then come and join the night! But tell me, mortal… Is forever worth the price? He is mine! My creature, my blood, my own, He's found his new family And he's finally come home. You can follow him into darkness, You can leave him to the night… But if you want to keep him— You pay the price. [Outro — whispered over fading synth] He is mine… And soon… You will be, too. [Intro — low synth pulse, whispered] You
