Through Her Flame

[Intro - whispered female vocals] In the chamber of blackest fire She called my name with ash-stained breath Beneath the veil of silent death I saw her eyes.. the alchemist… [Verse 1 - female vocals] Lead-blood drips from severed veins I offer all to the sacred flame Calcination splits the mask My shadow weeps, it will not last [Chorus - female vocals] She is the crucible, she is the key A mirror of gold in agony Through pain, through death, through sacred rot She forged the truth this world forgot [Verse 2 - female vocals] Beneath the skin, the serpent sleeps It coils in dreams, it sings in grief She whispered “burn” I did not fight Now I wear wings made from the night [Bridge - chant, female vocals] Through her flame I fall Through her flame I rise Blood to salt Salt to sky [Spoken Interlude - whispered female vocals] Not death... but reformation. Not pain... but the price of purification. [Final Chorus - layered female vocals] All that I was, turned into flame All that I feared, she dared to name Through her, the iron sang like gold Through her, the wound became the soul [Outro - whispered female vocals] And in her flame… I became. Transformed… not destroyed.
