Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots in the ashes Names on the wind Rust on the hourglass Bone-pale grin I walk where the wars end Helmets split and bent Blood dried in the fingerprints Crosses made of spent shells [Chorus] This is a reaper’s journey I carry what you leave behind Every soul a wounded story Etched like scars across my scythe I don’t choose the fallen I just cut the silver thread This is a reaper’s journey I walk beside the dead [Verse 2] Crow on my shoulder Mocking every vow Prayers in the crater dust No one’s listening now Mothers at the windows Candles gutter Fade I’m counting every heartbeat Til it’s mine to take [Chorus] This is a reaper’s journey I carry what you leave behind Every soul a wounded story Etched like scars across my scythe I don’t choose the fallen I just cut the silver thread This is a reaper’s journey I walk beside the dead [Bridge] Who will weigh the wicked? Who will weigh the pure? (who?) All I see are shadows Begging for one breath more I never asked for mercy I never asked for grace I only asked the darkness Teach me how to face [Chorus] This is a reaper’s journey Through the ruin Through the fire Every name a broken glory Every scream a crooked choir I don’t crown the victors I just lay the lost to rest This is a reaper’s journey My burden My unrest

metal, Epic modern metal with down-tuned chugs, double-kick bursts, and cinematic choirs behind harsh male vocals. Verses stalk in a mid-tempo groove with palm-muted riffs and eerie lead lines; chorus widens into soaring melody over half-time drums and layered screams. Bridge drops to clean guitars and whispered growls before a final, crushing climax with harmonized guitars and gang vocals.
