-- LYRICS --
Sorry to keep you waiting
The gates are open, go on, walk straight in
It's nearly time for the demonstration
So shut your eyes now, and pray to
Shh...
Cast off all expectation
There's simply no time for explanation
We're ready for your initiation
Offer your hand now
It's time to go
Oh child, you've come a long way down
Don't lose your nerve, don't turn back now
I swear you'll see it when the dark calls
A new beginning when the night falls
Angels, they have no place here
You know they're lying when they tell you that you need not fear
So softly spoken, the words in your ear
To mask the bastards holding hostage everything you hold dear
Eyes of fire, ringed in poison
Shoving candy down your throat to keep the noise in
But if you bite them first and make it hurt
It just might work, it's always worth a try
You never know, you could destroy them
Oh child, you've come a long way down
Don't lose your nerve, don't turn back now
I swear you'll see it when the dark calls
A new beginning when the night falls
The stars are brightly shining
They're reflected in your eyes
Oh you can sense it, you can feel it
You can fall but never die
The world is watching on in horror
Burn their judgement, this is it
The culmination of your life
It's your ascendance to the pit
The stars are brightly burning
But they pale against your eyes
Come revel in what you have wrought
And you will never, ever die
The world is watching on in horror
Fuck their judgement, this is it
The culmination of your life
Your coronation in the pit
Oh child, you've come a long way down
Don't lose your nerve, don't turn back now
I swear you'll see it when the dark calls
A new beginning when the night falls
Oh child, you've come a long way down
Don't lose your nerve, don't turn back now
I swear you'll see it when the dark calls
A new beginning when the night falls

OH if any of you have tiktok, i would really appreciate it if you’d head to my page (literally just my name lol) and interact with the video i uploaded for this song :) as of writing this it’s the first one there! thank you so much, i’m so hype to finally share this track ❤❤

[@QueenAtziri]

How does she do it? The songwriting you demonstrate in your albums is some of the best I've seen in this genre and as a whole in music. That being said about genre, you're sort of a pioneer in this type of rock. It really is somethin', and I can't wait to see what you keep comin' up with.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Thank you so much!!! That’s so lovely of you to say

[@HaphazardDisastard]

I love the notes walking down in the background after the choruses! Your music is so...satisfying. It's hard to find the right word for it.

[@robertanderson6890]

I feel like these lyrics are specifically addressing Lucifer. Really into it, whatever it is! Always love your music!

[@Draconicdisciple]

The YT algorithm messed things over and I didn't see this until tonight

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

the algorithm’s so rude!! happy to have you here eventually :) thank you!

[@SphyeLeMe]

I'm so excited to see you releasing new work!! I look forward to piecing together the narrative in the lyrics.

[@LordoftheNightWolves]

The name is "Long Way Down" and I immediately connect it to Belltower.

[@Lookout_Kid]

I wonder if this songs connected to belltower's story

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

if you like throwbacks to older songs check out the bonus track on bandcamp/spotify etc ;)

[@Lookout_Kid]

Its giving Little Bird and the background of Belltower. I could've sworn it was something else though, I just don't think I'm hearing it.

[@lorna6956]

Beautiful! You got me through my early high school years ♡ lova ya!

[@Sarah-gx1qr]

Love your music and lyrics

[@arthurlampion]

did I say I like this a lot? Well, I like this a lot 🥰

[@piperbeaton]

Amazing as always! And the album artist did a fantastic job as well

[@HoukaiBG]

Magnificent as always! Thank you for your music!

[@HinekoAkahi]

This track is so interesting! Somewhat... atonal, at times? It feels foreign, which I think was intentional! I'll have to listen a few more times to get the vibe down. Thank you so much!!!

[@RobotModelNBEEPBOPBOOP]

I would honestly LOVE a clean version of this so I could play it in the car with my younger siblings and parents. I'm not sure if you were thinking about that, but that would be great if you could :)

[@MizaBrega]

Yet another banger

[@kala_asi]

Oh my god, im so excited for more music of yours

[@Destiny07180]

OMG!! Oh how I have missed your music ❤

[@user-iz1tn5lm3y]

Ты супер, хотя я слов не понимаю🎉

[@RobotModelNBEEPBOPBOOP]

This song is so good, how do you get the art done for your covers? Just curious. Also your accent is very noticable in this song compared to your others, which i actually really like, but I'm curious what drove you to sing it in your normal accent

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

thank you! i commissioned an artist for this one specifically, but i made the past ones myself :) and i’m glad you like it! i came to realise i was sick of cringing at my own accent and that even if it made others uncomfortable, i wanted to sing the way i speak, because it shouldn’t just be americans and english people who are like ‘allowed’ to yknow?

[@celticbituitos4693]

AWESOME, AS ALWAYS !!!

[@brandonabrego4622]

And as always, you never cease to amaze!!!

[@opalishmoth8591]

What a banger! And another song to be added my writing inspiration Hey would you mind if I made an animatic out of this song?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

thank you! i would honestly love that

[@Precambrian-Rabbit]

Amazing, as always! Your accent is a lot more noticeable in this song than in most of your previous work - is that a character decision? Will we be hearing more from Aussie Lucifer?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

thank you! it's less a character decision and more that i just wanted to start singing more with my regular accent - i think it's kind of sad that a lot of people's accents are looked down on as being the 'wrong' way to sing, and that singers are expected to americanise their voices regardless of where they're from, yknow? that said i am very fond of the idea of aussie lucifer lmao

[@robertanderson6890]

@@RachelRoseMitchell wasnt Aussie Lucifer a thing in the Sandman comics...

[@stellunablaze9291]

This feels like a song about Anakin Skywalker

[@artemiscrimson]

If there’s any way you could please add the lyrics to the Spotify version I’d be over the moon!

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

I've submitted them, I'm not sure why they aren't there! Hopefully they show up soon ^^;

[@MakaoWorks]

The song idea is good, the vocals sound very amateurish tho.
