Prompt: "Besmirching"

[Verse] Iron ribs and grease-stained floors Pounding fists on rusted doors The ledger waits, the numbers creep A heavy debt the shadows keep [Chorus] Stain the glass, burn the page Lock the whisper in the cage Tear the banner from the wall Watch the quiet idols fall [Verse] Whispers crawl behind the beam Rotten fabric at the seam A quiet smudge upon the white Drawn and quartered in the light [Chorus] Stain the glass, burn the page Lock the whisper in the cage Tear the banner from the wall Watch the quiet idols fall [Outro] Tarnished gold And broken stone Left to rust Alone [Instrumental]
