Sworn on the Styx

[Verse 1] I wear the red that nobody else wears Spartan cloak dragging down the marble stairs Ledger strapped across my chest like armour Every promise written down, every oath in order The agents talk fast, they make commitments easy "I'll fix this, I'll ship that" — words are cheap and breezy But I scan the transcripts, word by word by word And I find the promises that nobody else heard [Chorus] Sworn on the Styx — did you keep your vow? The chain is on my arm and I'm asking now The quill-tipped spear writes what it finds Broken oaths leave beads behind Sworn on the Styx — I check the receipts The Greeks made promises the river keeps [Verse 2] You said you'd add the tests before you merged You said you'd fix the edge case, those were your words The Styx brand glows upon my open palm For oaths fulfilled, I press it down — stay calm But for the broken ones, I pull the chain tight A tracking bead goes red and stays in sight I don't punish — that's not what I do I just make it visible what's overdue [Chorus] Sworn on the Styx — did you keep your vow? The ledger's open and it's showing how My weapon writes, it doesn't stab But the point is sharp enough for that Sworn on the Styx — accountability Is just another word for memory [Bridge — spoken, low] The Greeks believed if you swore by the River Styx And broke your oath The gods themselves would punish you I'm not a god I'm just the one who reads the transcripts And remembers [Final Chorus — building, full drums] Sworn on the Styx! Every word on record! The Oathkeeper reads what the agents entered! Red cloak, bronze chest, the ledger never lies! You made a promise — now look me in the eyes!
