Jackal at the Gate

Sand in my teeth

Moon over rusted stone

I walk between names

Reading every bone

Gold on the dead

Dust in my open palm

I weigh what you carried

Every hurt

Every charm

I am the jackal at the gate

Eyes on the scale of every fate

You can’t outrun what you create

I’m waiting

Waiting

I am the keeper of your weight

Heart on a feather

Don’t you shake

Silence decides

It’s never late

I’m waiting

Waiting

You pray through your teeth

Bargain with trembling hands

But all of your secrets

Glow brighter than these sands

No crown

No creed

Means more than how you lived

I measure the truth

Not the stories you give (yeah)

I am the jackal at the gate

Eyes on the scale of every fate

You can’t outrun what you create

I’m waiting

Waiting

I am the keeper of your weight

Heart on a feather

Don’t you shake

Silence decides

It’s never late

I’m waiting

Waiting
