The Devil Shakes a Gentleman’s Hand
TitanChord
Met him in the smoke, no word was planned,
But the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
Suit pressed sharp, and the glass was raised,
We sealed the deal in a hellfire haze.
(Male) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand,
(Female) And writes your fate in burning sand.
(Together) No prayer survives, no saints withstand,
When the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
(Male) His smile was slick, his cufflinks red,
(Female) I saw the fire in the words he said.
(Male) A promise cheap, but the price was grand,
(Female) Paid in blood when you take his hand.
(Male) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand,
(Female) And writes your fate in burning sand.
(Together) No prayer survives, no saints withstand,
When the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
(Female) Every oath is a loaded gun,
Every deal burns when the night is done.
(Male – whisper echo) A smile hides what the soul can’t stand…
(Female – rising) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
(Male) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand,
(Female) And chains your name in a cursed brand.
(Together) No prayer survives, no saints withstand,
When the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
Met him in the smoke, no word was planned, But the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand. Suit pressed sharp, and the glass was raised, We sealed the deal in a hellfire haze.
(Male) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand, (Female) And writes your fate in burning sand. (Together) No prayer survives, no saints withstand, When the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
(Male) His smile was slick, his cufflinks red, (Female) I saw the fire in the words he said. (Male) A promise cheap, but the price was grand, (Female) Paid in blood when you take his hand.
(Male) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand, (Female) And writes your fate in burning sand. (Together) No prayer survives, no saints withstand, When the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
(Female) Every oath is a loaded gun, Every deal burns when the night is done. (Male – whisper echo) A smile hides what the soul can’t stand… (Female – rising) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
(Male) The devil shakes a gentleman’s hand, (Female) And chains your name in a cursed brand. (Together) No prayer survives, no saints withstand, When the devil shakes a gentleman’s hand.
