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
