Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots on the rafters Black cloth over green eyes Laughing at lanterns That think they can catch my light Dice in my pocket Names on the tip of my tongue You never saw the lock turn You only feel what I’ve done [Chorus] I am the shadowfriend Your secrets slip into my hand Step Step Gone again Like I was never in this land I walk where the torches end Where every oath comes loose and bends Say a prayer Hold your breath I am the shadowfriend [Verse 2] Raised under starfall Taught how to vanish in leaves Tracing the weak seams In armor and in beliefs I drink with the fighters Smile at the shine on their steel They charge the front doors I’m already in the keep [Chorus] I am the shadowfriend Your secrets slip into my hand Step Step Gone again Like I was never in this land I walk where the torches end Where every oath comes loose and bends Say a prayer Hold your breath I am the shadowfriend [Bridge] Every scar is a story I never told (never told) Every mark on the map another debt I’m owed Trust me or hunt me Either way I’m close Right at your back when you swear you’re alone (hey!) [Chorus] I am the shadowfriend Your secrets slip into my hand Step Step Gone again Like I was never in this land I walk where the torches end Where every oath comes loose and bends Say a prayer Hold your breath I am the shadowfriend

rock, Grimy alternative / hard rock band feel; male vocals snarling in the verses, bigger tortured belt in the chorus. Palm-muted guitars and driving bass in a tight pocket on the verses, drums half-time and tense; chorus blows open with wide power chords, crash-heavy groove, and stacked gang shouts on the hook. Brief, jagged lead guitar licks between lines, tom-heavy fill into a stripped-down bridge that rebuilds into the final chorus., hard rock, alternative rock
