Black hair like a veil, hazel eyes like a trap

You think you’re the hunter, but you’re caught in the gap

Short skirt, black lace, yeah, I set the whole scene

I’m the ghost in the city, the power unseen

On that park bench, you think you’re waking the beast?

I’m the one at the table, I’m the head of the feast

You feel my lips? That’s me taking your breath

I’m the queen of the silence, I’m the life and the death

Against the rough bark, let your fingers explore

But you’re touching a goddess who’s begging for more?

No—you’re touching the lightning, the spark in the vein

I’m the one in control of the pleasure and pain.

(909 hi-hats sharp like needles)

You look at me, thinking you’ve won the grand prize

But you’re drowning in the depth of these hazel-green eyes

The city is screaming, the limits are thin

I’m opening the door to let the Master walk in.

(Massive 808 drop, 3D soundstage expands)

Hazel-green eyes, hair blacker than coal

You’re claiming the body, but I’m eating the soul

From the park to the subway, I’m pulling the lead

I’m the fire in the dark, I’m the hunger you feed

Six bars of ecstasy? I’ll give you a lifetime

I’m the rhythm, the reason, the cold-blooded crime.

(Subway screeching, heavy mechanical rhythm)

Crushed in the crowd, yeah, the air’s getting tight

But I’m the one glowing, I’m the source of the light

Slide up the skirt, let the subway air bite

I’m the one who decided we’re doing this tonight

You think you’re "bold" while the train hits the rail?

I’m the wind in the tunnel, I’m the ghost in the gale

I’m riding the vibration, I’m steering the quake

Taking every single atom that you’re trying to take

You feel me crumble? That’s a calculated fall

I’m the Master of the game, I’m the God of it all.

(Beat strips to a haunting, low-end drone. 808s thumping like a heartbeat.)

The hallway is cold, the stairs are a climb

But I’m the one making the most of the time

One leg on the railing, I’m showing the view

But remember, my sista, who’s playing who?

Go down on your knees, taste the power I hold

I’m the story that’s written in silver and gold

I’ll ride to the summit, I’ll claim every spark

Then leave you breathless and alone in the dark.

(Climax: Pounding 909 beat, high-fidelity distortion)

Hazel-green eyes, hair blacker than coal

You’re claiming the body, but I’m eating the soul

From the park to the subway, I’m pulling the lead

I’m the fire in the dark, I’m the hunger you feed

Master Mika is rising, the night is the win

Let the real transformation finally begin.

(Beat slows down, vinyl crackle intensifies)

(Ambient city rain sounds)

The stairs are ice, but the fire is mine

I’m the shadow you chase, the end of the line

Messy hair, tangled soul, yeah, look at the state

I’m the Master of the night... and I’m worth the wait.

(Sound of a heavy steel door slamming shut)

[Whisper] Checkmate.

(Fade to dead silence)
