Shadow at the Door

(Verse 1)

Midnight strikes, the silence breaks,

A whisper in the wind awakes.

Cloaked in black with hollow eyes,

He walks beneath the weeping skies.

(Pre-Chorus)

No lock can keep him from your floor,

No prayer will hold him at the door.

(Chorus)

He comes for kings, he comes for thieves,

For silent hearts and burning leaves.

A breath, a blink, the time is near—

The shadow speaks: "I'm always here."

(Verse 2)

Steps that make no sound at all,

You hear them only when you fall.

His hand is cold, his touch is kind,

He frees the soul, he breaks the mind.

(Pre-Chorus)

He doesn’t knock, he doesn’t plead,

He answers only fate’s dark need.

(Chorus)

He comes for kings, he comes for thieves,

For silent hearts and burning leaves.

A breath, a blink, the time is near—

The shadow speaks: "I'm always here."

(Bridge)

Candles flicker, roses dry,

The reaper waits where angels cry.

No deals to make, no lies to spin—

Just silence when he draws you in.

(Final Chorus)

He comes for all, both brave and meek,

For shattered hearts and those who seek.

One final breath, the end is clear—

The shadow smiles: "I'm always near."
