[Intro] [Clean electric guitar arpeggio, circling in cold reverb, nothing but empty night air] [Am] I laid the last pure thing I owned [F] on the altar of the world alone [C] it smiled and took the quiet flame [G] and left me with the name [Verse 1] [Second guitar enters, brushed drums, warm bass, still sparse] [Am] Heaven sits behind a door of glass [F] that only opens when the song has passed [C] the night holds out an open hand [G] and charges me to stand [Pre-Chorus] [Guitars tighten, organ pad rises like smoke, tension builds without release] [Am] Every line becomes another toll [F] every breath another piece they stole [C] I keep on bleeding just to stay alive [G] but the crossing never arrives [Chorus] [Dual guitars lock into a dark hypnotic circle, full but restrained, vocal clear and worn] This is the Devil’s Due The only currency that’s true I trade the dream so I can breathe But Heaven never lets me leave [Verse 2] [Guitars thin again, the groove feels heavier, more open space] [Am] I used to keep a private light [F] that only burned for me at night [C] now it feeds the endless crowd [G] and leaves me in the cloud [Pre-Chorus] [Same rising tension, organ thicker, drums slightly more present] [Am] Every line becomes another toll [F] every breath another piece they stole [C] I keep on bleeding just to stay alive [G] but the crossing never arrives [Chorus] [Same circling guitars, distant ghost voice answering from far behind] This is the Devil’s Due The only currency that’s true I trade the dream so I can breathe But Heaven never lets me leave [Interlude] [Dual clean guitars , mournful lines over the progression, organ swelling then fading, pure atmosphere] [Guitar Solo] [Melodic weeping electric guitar solo over the verse chords, long sustained notes and slow bends, second guitar answering in the gaps, dark and elegant, never aggressive] [Bridge] [Almost everything drops, only two clean guitars and slow heartbeat bass] [Am] -I still hear the other side- [F] -where nothing asks a price- [C] -a music free of every chain- [G] -a love that needs no vice- [Am] But the dark keeps counting what I give [F] in the only coin I own [C] and the only way to keep on living [G] is to keep the debt unknown [Final Chorus] [Band returns darker and fuller, guitars climbing but never free, ghost voice stronger] This is the Devil’s Due The only currency that’s true I trade the dream so I can breathe But Heaven never lets me leave [Outro] [Guitars return to the opening arpeggio, each note farther apart until only cold reverb remains] [Am] I pay [F] I stay [C] I never [G] leave
