Lyrics[]

Intro
I’ll endure the exile (×2)

Verse 1
The darkness of night falls around my soul
And the hunter within loses control

Gotta let it out - gotta let it out
Gotta let it out - gotta let it out

This demon inside has ahold of me
Clenching its power - trying to break free

Gotta let it out - gotta let it out
Gotta let it out - gotta let it out

Verse 2
Move fast, baby - Don’t be slow
Step aside - Reload - time to go
I can't seem to control
All this rage that's inside me

Pullin' shots - aiming dots - Yeah I don't miss
Branded by Fire - Born in the abyss
Red hot temper - I just can’t resist
All this vengeance inside me!

Pre Chorus 1
All of these thoughts runnin' through my head
Arm on fire, veins burnin' red
Frustration is getting bigger
Bang Bang Bang - Pull my Devil Trigger!

Chorus 1
Embrace the darkness that’s within me
No hiding in the shadows anymore
When this wickedness consumes me
Nothing can save you and there’s no way out!

Verse 2
I’m a wildfire you won't tame
Igniting my temper can't put out my flame
There’s no way to contain
This storm swelling inside me

I'm a bomb you can’t defuse
Might just accept you're gonna lose
Can't turn down, I refuse
to hold back anymore

Pre Chorus 2
All of these voices inside of my head
Blinding my sight in a curtain of red
Frustration is getting bigger
Bang Bang Bang – Pull my Devil Trigger!

Chorus 2
When the night ends, it’s not over
We fight through to get closer
Like a silver bullet, piercing through
I throw myself into you

Chorus 3
All of these voices inside of my head
Blinding my sight in a curtain of red
Frustration is getting bigger
Bang Bang Bang – Pull my Devil Trigger!
