[Intro | deep ritual drones | distant layered whispers] Mouth to tail Bone to breath The circle stirs Beneath the death [Verse 1 | slow ceremonial pulse | low breathy vocal] All the roads Have turned to rings All the names Have lost their kings Sand and water Ash and skin Every story Folded in [Pre-Chorus | rising chant layers | circular bass motion] Round again Down again The old world bends And begins again [Chorus | vast ritual swell | layered breathy vocal] Ouroboros wakes The dark unchains The mouth returns The tail remains Ouroboros wakes The circle calls Nothing rises Until it falls [Verse 2 | elongated melody | faint flute phrases] Lanterns flicker Under bone The river carries What we owned The charmer vanished The eggs still breathe The eater sleeps With names in its teeth [Pre-Chorus | wider chant response | slow coiling rhythm] Round again Down again The old world bends And begins again [Chorus | fuller ritual intensity | haunting backing vocals] Ouroboros wakes The dark unchains The mouth returns The tail remains Ouroboros wakes The circle calls Nothing rises Until it falls [Bridge | stripped drones | close whispered vocal] Do not mourn The closing gate Do not beg The path to wait Every end Has fed the flame Every loss Returns by name [Final Chorus | vast circular soundscape | chant-like vocal layers] Ouroboros wakes The dark unchains The mouth returns The tail remains Ouroboros wakes The circle calls Nothing rises Until it falls Ouroboros wakes The old world shakes The dream returns The serpent makes [Outro | seamless looping feel | fading whispered vocal] Mouth to tail Breath to bone We leave together We wake alone
