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
