A song for the daughters on reaping day in my main character's village

The Reaping Song

Verse 1:
When the moon is full and bright
And the shadows dance in the night
We hear the whispers in our ears
The Reaping is drawing near

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Verse 2:
We never know who they will pick
We only hope they do it quick
We hug our daughters and we pray
The Reaping will spare them today

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Verse 3:
We see the cloaks and hear the bells
We know they cast their wicked spells
We watch them drag the girls away
The Reaping has claimed them today

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Outro:
The Reaping is over for now
But we know they will come back somehow
We live in fear and we obey
The Reaping will come again
