Spectral Reckoning (Version 2)

Verse

Steel and snow and amber light

Barefoot on the frozen sea

Ritual fire, burning bright

We are hunted, come what may

Iron in my chest like a heartbeat strong

Horn-call echoing through the night's dark song

Ice is cracking under every step I take

Every shadow hides a thousand stakes

Pre-Chorus

Let the darkness lift its veil

This is where we find our tale

Chorus

Spectral reckoning, spirits rise

Ritual thunder in our eyes

We are hunted, we will fight

For the light before the coming night

Spectral reckoning, let it break

Every chain and every mistake

Steel and fire and iron will

Never let us turn to stone

Verse

Ancient horns, they pierce the cold

Burning torches on our shoulders bold

Ghost-light marching in the dark of town

No one's counting down until we go down

My father taught me how to stand against

The pack that waits with claws and spiteful cry

Every step I take is lit by this same fire

I will not falter till the battle's done

Pre-Chorus

Let the darkness lift its veil

This is where we find our tale

Chorus

Spectral reckoning, spirits rise

Ritual thunder in our eyes

We are hunted, we will fight

For the light before the coming night

Spectral reckoning, let it break

Every chain and every mistake

Steel and fire and iron will

Never let us turn to stone

Bridge

No forgiveness for what's done tonight

Only the reckoning that makes things right

We are ghosts in our own making now

Forever bound till the battle ends

Chorus

Spectral reckoning, spirits rise

Ritual thunder in our eyes

We are hunted, we will fight

For the light before the coming night

Spectral reckoning, let it break

Every chain and every mistake

Steel and fire and iron will

Never let us turn to stone
