[The Heart's Horizon] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] The veteran sits in a frame of cold steel, Inheriting ghosts from a brother's ordeal. He wakes in a world where the gravity bends, And runs through a jungle where daylight ends. [ Pre-Chorus 1: Female Vocals ] The shadow of machines begins to grow, A secret kept where only spirits know. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] When a soul finds a place where it's finally whole, The weight of the past loses all its control. The lines in the dirt start to fade from the sight, As the spirit discovers a home in the light. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] The forest reveals every pulse in the vine, As sand moves through toes in a rhythm divine. She teaches the hunter the way of the bow, While he sends the data to masters below. [ Pre-Chorus 2: Male Vocals ] The promise of walking is heavy and deep, But promises made are now harder to keep. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] Two worlds are colliding inside of the mind, Leaving the duty of soldiers behind. A heart doesn't care for the flags of the old, When a story of home is just waiting to be told. [ Bridge 1: Male and Female Duet ] Under the roots where the ancient life glows, The bioluminescent pulse starts to slow. He stands in the shadow of Hometree's great height, To confess he was breathing a lie in the night. [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] The Colonel demands what the veteran owes, As greed for the metal and mineral grows. A promise of healing for legs made of glass, If he clears out the people to let the steel pass. [ Pre-Chorus 3: Female Vocals ] The clock on the wall starts to scream in the dark, As engines of ruin prepare for a spark. [ Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] The cost of a secret is paid in the end, When a brother is forced to betray his new friend. The gravity pulls at the roots of the tree, Until only the truth can set anyone free. [ Bridge 2: Male and Female Duet ] The sky people rain down a fire from above, Destroying the temple of nature and love. The mission is over, the mask has been shed, For life in the forest is more than a thread. [ Verse 4: Female Vocals ] The giant tree falls with a thunderous sound, As neural connections are torn from the ground. Grace cries for the network that links every leaf, While people are scattered in silence and grief. [ Pre-Chorus 4: Male and Female Duet ] The choice has been made in the heat of the fire, To rise from the ashes and aim a bit higher. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] True belonging is found when the spirit decides, To leave all the safety of armor and sides. A home isn't found in a map or a name, But the fire that burns with a different flame. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The forest is breathing... The spirit is leading... We see you. We see you.
