Reaper’s Path

[Verse 1]
Boots on bone-white sand
Ash in every tread I take
Names carved on my rusted scythe
Each one a promise I never break
[Pre-Chorus]
You pray for a way around me
But every road bleeds back to my feet
[Chorus]
Walk the reaper’s path with me
Step by step into the teeth
You can run
You can plead
But you still march next to me
On the reaper’s path you scream
Torn from hope
Dragged from your sleep
Every shadow that you see
Is another you that couldn’t leave (couldn’t leave)
[Verse 2]
Crow’s song on a crooked stake
Wind tastes like old regret
I don’t choose
I only take
One more soul into my debt
[Bridge]
[Halftime
Drums slam open]
You bite the dust
You choke on rust
You curse my name
But you still come
Line up
Line up
All flesh
Same fate
I hold the door
You cross the gate (hey!)
[Chorus]
Walk the reaper’s path with me
Step by step into the teeth
You can run
You can plead
But you still march next to me
On the reaper’s path you scream
Torn from hope
Dragged from your sleep
Every shadow that you see
Is another you that couldn’t leave

metal, Modern metalcore with downtuned guitars, sharp palm-muted riffs, and double-kick bursts. Male vocals shifting between guttural screams and melodic hooks; verses tight and tense, chorus opens with widescreen chords and soaring harmonies. Brief halftime breakdown with dissonant chords and gang shouts before the final hook reprise.
