[Intro] [Tanpura drone, lone low voice, slow] SMUH-ruh... Oot-TISH-tuh... [Verse 1] There's a shore in every story Where the map runs into blue Where the ones who came before you Swear the crossing can't be through And you count your tired answers Like they're all you ever had But the sea has heard that story And the sea is not that sad [Pre-Chorus] An old voice by the water Says the words you need to hear [Chorus] SMUH-ruh — remember Oot-TISH-tuh — rise LUNG-huh-yuh SAA-guh-rum Cross it with open eyes Nuh NUSH-tum tay BUH-lum Vis-MRI-tum KAY-vuh-lum Not lost, only forgotten Remember, and leap [Verse 2] New tools, new names, new silence You were strong in other lands Now the gate asks every question And the doubt is in your hands But a strength that sleeps is not gone It is waiting for its name Everyone who reached this water Felt the same, felt the same [The Prophecy] [Spoken, warm older voice, Hindi then English] AAP-nay UP-nee SHUCK-tee KHO-ee nuh-HEEN, bus BHOOL guh-YAY hain. You have not lost your strength. You have only forgotten it. I am not here to fill you. I am here to remind you. [Final Chorus] [Full choir, tabla rises] SMUH-ruh — remember Oot-TISH-tuh — rise LUNG-huh-yuh SAA-guh-rum Cross it with open eyes Nuh NUSH-tum tay BUH-lum Vis-MRI-tum KAY-vuh-lum Not lost, only forgotten Remember, and leap [Kokopelli Whisper] [Whispered, waves fading] SMUH-ruh. Oot-TISH-tuh. LUNG-huh-yuh SAA-guh-rum.
