Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots full of dust and blood Smoke still stuck in my lungs Last cannon echo in my head Like a church bell that never comes Buttons torn off my jacket Name tag hanging by a thread Rode west just to outrun ghosts And the faces of the dead [Chorus] Then I rode up to the edge of the world Thought I’d fall straight into the sky All that ruin I carried like armor Came undone and I didn’t know why Red stone river of forever Sun burning gold through the haze At the edge of the world I was smaller than a whisper And somehow I was saved [Verse 2] Horse snorted Hooves found gravel Wind rose up like a hymn Shadows painted ancient stories On every broken rim Blue so deep above me Made my old war feel so small Every shattered shout inside me Just tumbled down those walls [Chorus] ‘Cause I rode up to the edge of the world Thought I’d fall straight into the sky All that ruin I carried like armor Came undone and I didn’t know why Red stone river of forever Sun burning gold through the haze At the edge of the world I was smaller than a whisper And somehow I was saved [Bridge] I took off my hat Laid my sorrow by my side (oh Lord) Let the silence answer questions I’d been dragging since the fight If the earth can break this open And still lean into the light Maybe what’s left of this tired heart Can learn to do the same in time [Chorus] So I kneel here on the edge of the world Let it steal the war from my eyes All that ruin I carried like armor Falls away in this endless sky Red stone river of forever Wind singing over each wave At the edge of the world I am smaller than a whisper And somehow I am brave

Cinematic folk-rock ballad with steady acoustic strum, warm male vocals, and subtle slide guitar. Verses start sparse with brushed snare and upright bass; chorus widens with airy pads, tom swells, and stacked harmonies. A gentle organ bed and reverb-soaked electric lines bloom as the canyon appears, carrying an emotional build from weary resignation to hushed awe.
