[Verse 1]
First to arrive, I wait in the hush,
White steel and silence my constant hush.
The air grows still when the flowers fall,
I name each life, I remember them all.
Past the edge where the living break,
No turning back, no breath to take.
The hour calls, the circle’s complete,
I walk the path where endings meet.

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the hollow wind, I hear them plead,
But nothing can alter what must proceed.

[Chorus]
Step through the veil, cross the line,
Leave behind what once was thine.
Every empire, every prayer will fade,
I’m the keeper of the debt you’ve paid.
No mercy left, no promise to keep,
Follow me into endless sleep.

[Verse 2]
The weight of the fallen pulls on my blade,
Each vow forgotten, each moment decayed.
I’ve seen the strong forget their name,
The boundless reach ends just the same.
No plea, no breath can turn me away,
Your hour is done, the toll must be paid.
I knock once more—the silence replies,
I lead them on where the daylight dies.

[Pre-Chorus]
Regret dissolves in the river’s bind,
Nothing remains for the world behind.

[Chorus]
Step through the veil, cross the line,
Leave behind what once was thine.
Every empire, every prayer will fade,
I’m the keeper of the debt you’ve paid.
No mercy left, no promise to keep,
Follow me into endless sleep.

[Bridge]
I’ve carved this road through dust and bone,
Guiding the lost to what’s unknown.
Power is dust when time has bled,
I lead the way where all are led.

[Chorus (Extended)]
Step through the veil, cross the line,
Leave behind what once was thine.
Every empire, every prayer will fade,
I’m the keeper of the debt you’ve paid.
No mercy left, no promise to keep,
Follow me into endless sleep.

[Outro]
This is the end, where all roads cease,
I lead them home—to silent peace.
