Reckoning

[Vocals]
Male baritone; restrained verses, breathy hints in pre-choruses, punchy melodic choruses, bridge builds tension, controlled outro

[Instruments]
Guitar: crunchy but melodic, light overdrive, melodic slides/bends, playful motifs
Bass: driving, tight, accentuates rhythm
Drums: energetic, syncopated, faster pace
Optional: atmospheric synth/reverb for supernatural feel

[Structure]
Verse 1 → Pre-Chorus 1 → Chorus 1 → Verse 2 → Pre-Chorus 2 → Chorus 2 → Bridge → Guitar/Violin Solo → Chorus 3 → Chorus 4 (Outro)

[Verse 1]
Mist curls where moonlight sighs,
Silhouettes twist as silence flies.
A figure dances just out of view,
A hidden pulse, a fleeting tease.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Drawn close by murmurs through the haze,
The air ignites in secret blaze.

[Chorus 1]
Reckoning, the phantoms call,
I bend, I sway, I heed it all.
Flames of thrill course through my veins,
The unseen obeys, it breaks my chains.

[Verse 2]
Glints of silver pierce the gloom,
Shapes emerge from shadowed room.
Each move a spark in secret play,
The wind inclines, it draws my way.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A rhythm hums beneath my core,
The air seduces, pulls me more.

[Chorus 2]
Reckoning, I stand my ground,
The veil surrounds without a sound.
I feel the pull, I feel the fire,
The silhouettes echo my desire.

[Bridge]
Faster now, the heartbeat swells,
Eyes like lanterns, midnight spells.
I rush, I sway, I rise, I claim,
The unseen dances, fuels the flame.

[Chorus 3]
Reckoning, no turning back,
The night’s embrace, a winding track.
I feel the fire, I feel the thrill,
The phantoms move with all my will.

[Chorus 4 – Outro]
Reckoning, I merge with night,
The unseen hand, the fleeting light.
I surge, I weave, I rise, I reign,
The unseen consumes, then shows the way.
