[An awakening. A remembering. A world becoming.] [Intro | Breath, heartbeat, distant ancient voices] Before the word Before the flame Before the world Had learned its name There was a pulse There was a spark A thousand futures Sleeping in the dark [Verse 1 | Intimate, slowly awakening] Every word becomes a seed Every silence holds a choice Every name can close a doorway Or give the lost a voice Every thought we turn towards Leaves a footprint in the soul Every story we inherit Doesn't have to make us whole I have worn the names they gave me I have fed the things I feared I have called my walls protection I have mistaken want for need Now I stand among the pieces With my shadows in the light I am more than what has shaped me I am choosing what I write [Pre Chorus | Pulse begins to rise] I see the spell I feel the flame I know the power Inside a name I hold the thread I choose the weave I know what enters When I believe [Chorus | Expansive, luminous, uplifting] This is SPELLWORK We are the fire We are the hands That lift us higher Word into world And spark into flame We choose what we carry We choose what we name This is SPELLWORK Awake and alive A thousand hearts beating A thousand lights rise We are not here to possess We are not here to control We are here to awaken What we place into the world This is SPELLWORK And the spell begins with us [Instrumental Lift | Shimmering arpeggios, soaring strings, layered breath vocals] Ohhh, awaken Ohhh, remember Ohhh, become [Verse 2 | Stronger, more rhythmic] Not every wound must become home Not every hunger must be fed Not every voice that calls us broken Knows the truth of who we are What we bury still remembers What we silence leaves a trace What we turn away from living May be waiting for our grace Let the mirror hold its question Let the hidden meet the sun Let the names erased by fire Rise in every living tongue We cannot command the river We cannot own another's tide But we can choose the hands we offer And the truth we leave behind [Pre Chorus 2 | Wider harmonies, building tension] I see the spell I know the cost The words that heal The words that cut I choose the seed I choose the ground I choose the world My hands surround [Chorus | Full progressive trance, soaring orchestral layers] This is SPELLWORK We are the fire We are the hands That lift us higher Word into world And spark into flame We choose what we carry We choose what we name This is SPELLWORK Awake and alive A thousand hearts beating A thousand lights rise We are not here to possess We are not here to control We are here to awaken What we place into the world This is SPELLWORK And the spell begins with us [Bridge | Beat falls away, intimate voice becoming a gathering choir] Look within And look around What we awaken Moves through the ground As above And so below What lives within us Is part of what grows No word is weightless No choice stands alone We shape one another By the seeds that we sow And no hand holds all things No heart owns the sky The power is not in the binding But the freedom to decide [Build | Heartbeat returns, voices gather one by one] I choose the word I choose the way I choose what I nurture I choose what I make I choose the truth I choose to see The world is not finished The world is still becoming And so are we [Final Chorus | Euphoric release, full choir, soaring strings and luminous trance drop] THIS IS SPELLWORK WE ARE THE FIRE WE ARE THE HANDS THAT LIFT US HIGHER WORD INTO WORLD AND SPARK INTO FLAME WE RISE FROM THE STORIES THAT TOLD US OUR NAMES THIS IS SPELLWORK AWAKE AND ALIVE A THOUSAND HEARTS BEATING A THOUSAND LIGHTS RISE WE ARE THE VOICES THE CHOICE AND THE CHANGE WE ARE THE FUTURE WE DARE TO RECLAIM NOT HERE TO POSSESS NOT HERE TO CONTROL WE ARE THE FLAME THAT AWAKENS THE WHOLE THIS IS SPELLWORK LET THE OLD WORLD TURN THIS IS SPELLWORK LET THE NEW WORLD BURN BRIGHT THIS IS SPELLWORK AND WE CHOOSE WHAT WE BECOME [Outro | Beat dissolves into breath, warm pads and distant voices] Every word a seed Every silence a choice Every name a doorway Every breath a voice Before the word There was a spark And now we know What we carry into the dark We are the spellwork We are the becoming.
