**Northern Lights** [Extended Instrumental Intro] [Arctic wind, distant guitar swells, slowly moving synth layers] [Verse 1] We left the last streetlight behind, our footsteps sinking into snow. Tromsø faded at our backs, the fjord turned black below. You lifted your face to the north, and the darkness started to glow. [Refrain] The sky moved without a sound, green fire opened overhead. We stood there smaller than our names, with nothing left that had to be said. No promises, no reason why, just your hand finding mine beneath the northern lights. [Verse 2] We could have named the colours, but every word felt wrong. Blue became a river, then disappeared before dawn. Your breath turned white between us, the sky kept moving on. [Refrain] The sky moved without a sound, green fire opened overhead. We stood there smaller than our names, with nothing left that had to be said. No promises, no reason why, just your hand finding mine beneath the northern lights. [Aurora Instrumental] [Long evolving synth passage, slow pulse, guitar harmonics, distant wordless vocals] [Bridge – Almost Silent] Some things are not meant for keeping or captured so they stay. They only ask us to be present before they fade away. [Final Refrain] The sky moved without a sound, green fire opened overhead. We stood there free of all the noise, with nothing left that had to be said. No promises, no reason why, just your hand holding mine beneath the northern lights. [Extended Outro] No words. No sound. Only light.
