[Verse 1: Elias] I kept your place beside my chair Through winter law and courtroom air I thought the oath would hold us fast I never meant to make you past [Pre-Chorus: Elias] But you would not bend where I drew the line You heard my word and crossed it all the same And Adam stood where trust came undone The choice was yours when you answered him [Chorus: Elias] Lilith, I would call you home If home could still be ours But every time you pleaded Adam’s cause You pressed against the boundary I have drawn I grieve the spark I cannot keep I mourn the bond that would not yield I wanted you beside me still But I will not unmake this seal [Verse 2: Elias] I watched you turn from my decree And plead for him instead of me You knew the cost, you knew the gate You chose the road that sealed your fate [Bridge: Lilith, beyond the gate] Elias, hear me through the stone I do not want to stand alone Let me return; I’ll speak with care Let me come back; I’ll meet you there [Bridge: Elias] I hear your voice. I know your pain. I know the part of me that calls your name. But you have crossed this line too often now; I will not move the law I vowed. [Final Chorus: Elias] Lilith, I would call you home But not by breaking what I swore You chose your answer, chose your way I will not open up the door I grieve the spark I cannot keep I mourn the bond that would not yield I wanted you beside me still But you remain beyond the seal [Outro: Lilith, then Elias] Lilith: Elias, please—just let me through. Elias: I hear you. Still, I cannot choose you.
