Owed Fields
rock, Epic symphonic rock with low female lead and distant male harmonies; strings and brass trade with distorted rhythm guitars over tom-heavy drums. Verses start sparse with soft piano and cello, then build into wide, crashing choruses with choirs and cymbal swells. Bridge drops to almost a whisper, then explodes into a final, soaring wall of sound for a game end-credits feel., symphonic rock, low, female vocals, male vocals, soundtrack

Lyrics
Intro
Low sky
Ash rain
Footprints fade in the gray
Flags burned
Names erased
Only echoes know this place
Verse 1
Ruined stone
Hollow halls where laughter slept
Rust and bone
On the thrones the tyrants kept
We wrote our fate
In fire and shattered steel
Now the wind
Signs the final seal
Chorus
Owed fields
We pay the price
Every grain a sacrifice
We were the storm
We were the flame
Now the earth forgets our name
Owed fields
Our kingdom’s dust
Iron dreams turned red with rust
Hear the ground reclaim our sound
As the last of us goes down
Verse 2
[low female vocals
Close-mic]
Empty guns
Laid in rows like fallen crowns
Silent suns
Bleeding out behind the clouds
We tore the sky
Just to prove that we were strong
But this quiet
Is louder than our bombs
Chorus
Bridge
[male vocals join
Call and response]
She: Were we gods or frightened children?
He: Just a spark in endless night
She: All our borders
All our banners
He: Drifting smoke in failing light
Both: If the stars remember anything
Let them carry what we were
Not the cities
Not the battles
Just a hand that once was hers
Chorus
[crescendo
Full choir and guitars]
