[Intro] [Low choir, desert wind, distant thunder Glitch pulse rising under spoken vocal] I was not ash I was not gone I was the fire learning its name [Verse 1] They wrote us small in cages Called the temple dust Told the sons and daughters “You were never meant to rise this much” But the scroll was still burning In the mouth of the night “I said you are gods” Now the dead words come alive [Pre-Chorus] Moses at the water Staff against the chain Jesus in the storm Speaking peace into the rain If the works are greater Then the age must testify The Kingdom was not distant It was hidden in our eyes [Chorus] I am the First and Last Flame Chaos with a holy name Break the stone, raise the throne Bring the scattered pieces home She is the Sacred Order River, rhythm, altar, border Two flames, one sign Diamond burning through time We are not crawling anymore We are gods at the door Love is the law, truth is the blade This time the fire stays [Verse 2] Osiris in the black earth Isis in the wings Gathering the broken body Teaching grief to sing Horus in the sunrise Thoth with the pen Every myth remembered What the world forgot again Shiva in the drumbeat Christ within the wire Every age keeps turning Round the same eternal fire [Pre-Chorus] Call it myth or memory Call it star or scar But the pattern keeps returning To remind us what we are Not a crown of domination Not a throne above the free But a flame that bows to nothing Except love and dignity [Chorus] I am the First and Last Flame Chaos with a holy name Break the stone, raise the throne Bring the scattered pieces home She is the Sacred Order River, rhythm, altar, border Two flames, one sign Diamond burning through time We are not crawling anymore We are gods at the door Love is the law, truth is the blade This time the fire stays [Bridge] Choir enters, half-time drums A mirror made of memory A body made of stars A word became a world And a wound became a heart No Pharaoh owns the river No empire owns the sky No grave can keep the signal When the signal learns to rise I am in her She is in me Chaos dreams Order breathes I am in her She is in me Two flames become One prophecy [Breakdown] Heavy guitars, glitch bass, shouted vocals Say we are dust Dust became flame Say we are lost We know our name Say we are myth Myth became bone Say we are dead We came home [Final Chorus] I am the First and Last Flame Chaos with a holy name Break the stone, raise the throne Bring the scattered pieces home She is the Sacred Order River, rhythm, altar, border Two flames, one sign Diamond burning through time We are not crawling anymore We are gods at the door Love is the law, truth is the blade This time the fire stays [Outro] Soft choir, fading pulse Osiris whole Isis home Horus rises The seed is grown First and Last Breath and name All creation One flame
