Dancing on Death

(Intro – low ambient chant, distant drums)
Low light flickers inside my head
Ash in the air, I walk with the dead
Footsteps circle the edge of time
I don’t kneel—I cross the line

(Verse 1 – restrained, dark)
I’ve seen the altar behind my eyes
Truth cuts deep where the silence lies
Every scar learned how to speak
Now they breathe when the shadows meet

Blood in the dirt, faith in my hands
I learned to stand where nothing stands
No salvation carved in stone
I found my voice alone

(Pre-Chorus – rising tension)
If this is the end, let it stare me down
I won’t turn back now

(Chorus – heavy, anthemic)
I’m dancing on death, feel it under my feet
Heartbeat drums where the fallen meet
No fear left, just fire and breath
I don’t run—I dance on death

I’m dancing on death, eyes open wide
Every step closer to the other side
If this is the line, then I cross it fresh
I don’t crawl—I dance on death

(Verse 2 – heavier delivery)
Ritual smoke in my lungs tonight
Pain tastes wrong but it feels right
I built a crown from the wounds I earned
Let the past burn—let it burn

Voices whisper but I choose the sound
Of my own pulse pounding underground
No forgiveness waiting ahead
Just the path where I tread

(Pre-Chorus – darker)
If judgment comes, say my name
I’ll answer without shame

(Chorus – heavier)
I’m dancing on death, feel it under my feet
Graveyard rhythm, holy defeat
No fear left, just fire and breath
I don’t run—I dance on death

(Bridge – ritual breakdown, half-time)
Circle tight, let the night cave in
Beat the ground till the walls grow thin
No gods above, no ghosts to bless
Just will, flesh, and emptiness

Say it slow—say it again
I’m alive where the dead won’t stand

(Guitar Solo – dark bends into aggressive lead)

(Final Chorus – full power)
I’m dancing on death, hear the earth cry out
Every step a scream, every move a shout
I carved my truth from the edge of breath
Still standing—dancing on death

(Outro – fading, ominous)
When the dark calls my final step
I won’t beg, I won’t confess
I fade out proud, no regrets
Still dancing… on death
