[Verse 1]

The puddles have awakened

In darkness, you're taking your first steps into a world

Built to destroy you very soul (This world is mine)

A voice whispering your secrets

I was born to give you meaning

The power of the demon (Give you strength)

Give me your name

A word I may devour

Getting closer by the hour

Lurking just out of your reach

(Your future's sealed)

Within the ink, the puddles call your name

You were born from it, belong to it

You'll die there just the same

[Chorus]

The cycle must continue

A thousand times you've died

The darkness calling from within you

The ink demon is coming, hide

[Verse 2]

The prototype for your design, we share a bond of blood

The two creations will become as one, an all-consuming flood

(I'll give you strength)

Joseph's son and daughter, joined in union for the slaughter

Take the hand of his creation, or be left to join your father

(Drowned in ink)

Your road is broken, your fate is fixed

Take your final steps into the ink or just cease to exist

(Give me your hand)

The daughter of the auteur, the power of the beast

Joining hand in hand to conquer, or one is soon deceased

[Chorus]

The cycle will continue, no matter how you try

You must be tired of running, and now there's nowhere to hide

(Mouths open wide, admit your fears)

You're an intruder in our world, but there's a key you hold inside

You know the beast is always with you

The ink demon coming, hide
