[Chorus 1]
At the crossroads, I see the way
Every step I take shapes the prey
I feel the pull, I feel the fight
Tonight I choose, I own the night
[Verse 1]
Thorned vines writhe along the stone
Snapping, wet with rot and bone
Green-black tendrils claw my boots
Dragging moss and oozing roots
Every step a battle made
Every breath a choking blade
Hands of wood and thorn grab tight
I push through, I claim the night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can’t look back, I can’t delay
Every step I take, I claim today
[Chorus 2]
At the crossroads, I see the way
Every step I take shapes the prey
I feel the pull, I feel the fight
Tonight I choose, I own the night
[Verse 2]
Two figures mirror every move
Faces pale, too still to soothe
Branches snap beneath their glide
Whispers twist, I cannot hide
Hands like ice reach, vanish, tease
Echoes of mine that will not cease
I keep my pace, heart drum-tight
Every choice could mean my night
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Whispers crawl, eyes blaze and stare
But I push forward through the snare
[Bridge]
Crossroads open, claws and fire
Metal grinds, the air conspires
A dozen shapes with teeth and flame
Every step I stake my name
Ground shivers, sky bends low
I write my story, onward go
[Guitar/Violin Solo]
[haunting, melodic, tense, flickers of playful menace]
[Verse 3]
Jagged limbs scrape stone and bone
Metallic spikes grind, sharp as stone
Jerking, twitching, limbs misaligned
Eyes like shards pierce through my mind
Every path a trembling thread
Every choice a step with dread
I grip my will, skin crawling tight
Tonight the crossroads owns the night
[Chorus 3]
At the crossroads, I see the way
Every step I take shapes the prey
I feel the pull, I feel the fight
Tonight I choose, I own the night
[Chorus 4 – Outro]
At the crossroads, I stand and see
Every path a part of me
I feel the pull, I feel the bite
Tonight I choose, I own the night
