[Verse 1]
I wake, teeth clenched, fists tight
Blood in my chest screaming fight
Grim Reaper at my heels, scythe drawn
I spit fire, tell him he’s wrong
Every street, every shadowed wall
He hisses, “Soon, you’ll fall”
I laugh, I kick, I surge ahead
Turns out fear is the only thing he fed
[Pre-Chorus]
His silence used to weigh me down
Now it trembles, I wear the crown
I see the cracks in his hollow grin
Realize he’s already losing
[Chorus]
Death’s lost leverage
I still chase sparks in the dark
Pulse in my veins, fire in my hands
He can follow, he can mark
But he can’t stop me from moving ahead
He’s just a shadow on the bed
Death’s lost leverage
I don’t flinch—I just keep instead
[Verse 2]
He stalks beside me, slow and cold
Counting the endings he’s been told
Every warning, every threat I hear
I turn to flame, refuse the fear
I’ve studied loss, I’ve felt despair
I’ve stared the void and breathed the air
And still my heartbeat drums the street
Life is sharp, and death tastes defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He drags his scythe, I drag my rage
He whispers warnings—I disengage
Even knowing what comes someday
I let the knowledge fall away
[Chorus]
Death’s lost leverage
I still chase sparks in the dark
Pulse in my veins, fire in my hands
He can follow, he can mark
But he can’t stop me from moving ahead
He’s just a shadow on the bed
Death’s lost leverage
I don’t flinch—I just keep instead
[Violin Solo] [Sharp, staccato notes start like scythe scraping] [Wailing, elongated notes scream anger and defiance] [Slow descending melody mirrors the Reaper losing grip] [Ends on a tension note that resolves into the Bridge]
[Bridge]
He yawns, bored of his own game
I walk past without a name
He wants my fear, my trembling mind
I left it somewhere far behind
Even the end loses its teeth
When you move forward beneath
[Final Chorus]
Death’s lost leverage
I still chase sparks in the dark
Every risk, every scar I claim
He can watch, but can’t reclaim
I don’t need saving, I don’t need proof
Just motion sharp enough to choose
Death’s lost leverage
And I’m still breaking through
[Outro]
He’ll linger, haunt, maybe wait
But anger won’t open his gate
Turns out life is louder than his reach
And I’m still chasing, still learning to breach
