The Bone Piper's Bride

arachno rock, spider emo trap, alternative horrcore

[Intro]
Beneath the thorn, beneath the stone
He smiled, then took what wasn’t his own
He learned their fear, learned how they bend
Then sold their names to make his end

[Verse 1]
He kept a ledger in his coat
Of every favor, every throat
A borrowed laugh, a patient nod
He wore the mask and thanked his god

You brought him bread, you brought him trust
He turned your mercy into rust
Each secret fed the chain he wore
Each kind word opened one more door

[Pre-Chorus]
Then one door opened past the briar
Where wedding vows burned hotter than fire
He saw her heart and reached to take
What no false friend was made to break

[Chorus]
Don’t touch the Bone Piper’s bride
Don’t spread your poison where vows abide
The woods keep records, the dead don’t sleep
Cross this line and you’ll pay it deep
He called her lonely, called himself kind
But fae-born vows are not yours to unwind
When the bone pipes cut through the blackened hall
The liar learns the spider can crawl

[Verse 2]
He whispered, “He will never know”
And watched the candle gutter low
He laid his thread across her name
And mistook silence for a game

She saw the hook beneath the rose
The careful hurt behind his prose
Then told her husband what he’d planned
With steady eyes and open hand

[Pre-Chorus]
The Piper came without a sound
White antlers crowned the midnight ground
His bride stood close beneath his arm
Her faith untouched, her spirit warm

[Bridge]
Friends gathered where the old mill groaned
And heard each lie in his own tone
The ledger burned, the secrets flew
Every stolen face came back in view

He begged the ones he used before
They watched him crawl across the floor
The Piper raised one finger, slow
And roots climbed up from down below

[Breakdown]
Thread by thread
Name by name
Mouth of gold
Heart of shame
You built a kingdom out of trust
Now every crown returns to dust

[Final Chorus]
Don’t touch the Bone Piper’s bride
Don’t spread your poison where vows abide
The woods keep records, the dead don’t sleep
Cross this line and you’ll pay it deep
No friend remains to pull you free
No lie can cross the faerie sea
When the bone pipes cut and the black roots crawl
The warning stands: the spider will fall

[Outro]
At dawn they found his empty coat
Pinned beneath an elder root
No blood, no bones, no final plea
Just one white thread across the tree
