Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] No saddle creak, no lantern swung Just the smell of rain on a black tongue You'll hear the hooves but not the breath I am the cold that comes before the death [Chorus] No gold on my tongue, no prayer in my chest You can't outrun what never rests Don't look behind, don't ask my name The road knows my face even though I have none [Verse 2] My spine is a whip, my teeth are a key I call out the names that the living won't speak You'll feel a tap on your left shoulder blade That's just the last thing your own mother made [Chorus] No gold on my tongue, no prayer in my chest You can't outrun what never rests Don't look behind, don't ask my name The road knows my face even though I have none [Bridge – music drops to just voice and chain rattle, whispered] If you throw a coin, I'll stop for a breath But the pause won't save you—it just honors the debt And the name I just whispered? That was yours. [Chorus] – [one repeat, then cut to silence] No gold on my tongue… [Outro] – [single whip crack, then horse hooves fading]
