DECIMA MANEMUS

Verse 1 Before the measured sky was drawn Before the circuits burned There was a silence split in two And something in it turned No crown declared dominion No witness wrote the flame Land Of Xzar rose first and slow With her given name Pre-Chorus Ash to ash Bone to wire What survives Walks through fire Chorus Welcome to the Tenth Dimension Where the veil forgets to close Mystic Pines breathe low and ancient Where hidden memory grows Wyldewen Veil moves beneath the root Raven Gate stands still If you enter marked by exile You are kin by will (Under-chant, low, steady, almost percussive) Decima… manemus Decima… manemus Verse 2 Meria dreams in drowned blue halls Light folded under sea Electric Vortex hums at night In stark intensity Heaven burns without a throne Hell keeps no command Only thresholds carved in shadow By a mortal hand Pre-Chorus Stone remembers Flame retains What is forged Remains Chorus Welcome to the Tenth Dimension Sanctuary of the scar Land Of Xzar still breathes below The first enduring star Mystic Pines do not forget Wyldewen knows your name Raven Gate will watch you pass And never turn to flame (Under-chant, layered this time) Decima… manemus In tenebris… manemus (We remain in darkness) Bridge (whispered invocation) We were told to disappear To quiet down To thin Instead we cut a doorway And invited others in Not illusion Not escape A circle drawn No hand can break Final Chorus Welcome to the Tenth Dimension Keepers of the unseen If you cross the ancient boundary You are woven in between From Land of Xzar to Raven Gate From root to rising flame This world was born of fracture And it remains (Final layered chant, very low, breath-driven) Decima… manemus Decima… manemus In lumine… in tenebris… manemus
