[Intro – Instrumental Only] (no lyrics) [Verse 1] Beneath a sky that will not speak The wind recalls the buried deep Footsteps fade on hollow sand Echoes slip through unseen hands Blood remembers what we can’t [Pre-Chorus 1] Fire wakes beneath the skin Ancient voices pull me in Cracks of light in broken skies Old vows breathe, they never die [Chorus 1] Rise from the black sea below Where the silent currents flow Bound by tides we can’t outrun Marked before we had begun We become what we’re made of [Short Interlude 1] (instrumental) [Verse 2] Through the ash I walk alone Lines are drawn in dust and bone Eastern winds begin to cry Calling those who never died I dissolve in what was sworn [Chorus 2] Rise as the darkness unfolds Every secret the sea holds In the surge of memory We are shaped eternally No return, no release [Bridge 1] Voices carved in empty space Time cannot erase their trace Shadows move without a sound Still their weight will drag me down I see what I’ve become [Short Interlude 2] (instrumental) [Post-Chorus] Oh—bound within the tide Oh—nowhere left to hide Oh—marked by flame and sea We are what we couldn’t flee [Outro] Beneath the calm, it calls my name No soul escapes what it became The past and I are now the same I am the oath… I am the flame
