[Intro] I was quiet for a long, long time Hiding where the shadows climb But something holy held the spark Breathing softly in the dark [Verse 1] I carried storms I never named Smiled through the weight, walked through the flame Dreams got buried under fear Still, a voice kept drawing near Not a shout, not a crown Just a whisper breaking ground Calling back what I forgot Light survives where hope does not [Pre-Chorus] Not erased Not too far gone What was hidden still belongs Now the silence starts to break And the sleeping soul awakes [Chorus] Ehyeh Phos I am light Not the darkness, not the night Not the ashes, not the scars There is heaven in my heart Nūr ʾanā (نور أنا) I rise again Through the pressure, through the pain What was buried is not lost I remember who I was [Verse 2] Some gifts sleep beneath the ground Waiting for a truer sound Not for pride, not for fame But to answer when God calls my name I was never just my wounds Never just the empty rooms Every tear that touched the floor Opened up a hidden door [Pre-Chorus] Not erased Not too far gone What was hidden still belongs Now the silence starts to break And the sleeping soul awakes [Chorus] Ehyeh Phos I am light Not the darkness, not the night Not the ashes, not the scars There is heaven in my heart ʾAnā nūr (أنا نور) I rise again Through the pressure, through the pain What was buried is not lost I remember who I was [Bridge] I remember now I remember now The flame was low But never out Bāʾī nūrī, mā rḥa rūḥ (باقي نوري ما رح روح) I remember now I remember now Love was calling Through the doubt [Final Chorus] Ehyeh Phos I am light Moving through the longest night Every chain and every wall Could not kill the soul at all Yā nūr qalbī, mā bitṭfī (يا نور قلبي ما بتطفي) I rise again Not alone and not condemned From the silence, from the cost The buried light is waking up [Outro] Not gone Not lost Only waiting Ehyeh Phos
