[The First Divide] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] We stand where the gravel meets the edge of night, Behind us the lanterns are still burning bright. The meadow we knew is a ghost of the past, Facing a hollow so heavy and vast. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The old maps are burning, the ink turning gold, We trade every story already been told. Into the static where echoes survive, Breaking the comfort to feel more alive. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] A thick heavy curtain is pressing our lungs, The air tastes like iron on the tip of our tongues. The darkness has fingers that pull at the knees, Singing a warning through shivering trees. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The old maps are burning, the ink turning gold, We trade every story already been told. Into the static where echoes survive, Breaking the comfort to feel more alive. [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] The weight of the blackness, a physical wall, We lean to the front and we refuse to crawl. One boot hits the nothing and it starts to glow, A spark in the silence the universe knows. The unmapped ground is now turning to white, Shadows we feared are now beacons of light. [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] The soil is freezing and gritty and new, A different color than the world that we knew. A deep vibration like a low heavy bass, Carving a path through this hollowed-out space. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] The old maps are ashes, the ink has turned gold, We found a new story that's never been told. We walked through the static where echoes survived, Burned down the comfort and finally arrived. [ Outro: Female Vocals ] The silence is loud but the footing is real, No more hiding what we are destined to feel. Into the unknown, The light is our own.
