Verse 1 (Present World) I see towers scrape the sky for more Hands still reaching, never full Streets are loud but hearts are sore We built a crown of beautiful ruin I hear the silence underneath Something buried, something true Like the dirt remembers me Even when I don’t know what to do Pre-Chorus And I swear I’m not alone out here In the spaces in between Chorus (Calling the Ancient Soul) Are you there beyond the flame? In the wind that speaks my name I don’t know you, but I feel you move Like a memory I once knew Take me back before the noise Before we drowned out quieter voices When the earth was more than ground we used Tell me how to hear the truth Verse 2 (Ancient / Spirit Response) I am not gone, I never left I live where breath and soil connect In every step you’ve ever known In every seed that’s ever grown You learned to close what once was wide But I still walk right by your side You don’t need to chase the past Just remember what can last Chorus (Union) I am here beyond the flame In the wind that speaks your name You don’t know me, but you feel me move I’m the part you never lose Not behind, but underneath In the rhythm, in the deep When you listen, you’ll return to truth I was always part of you Bridge (Spiritual / Minimal / Haunting) “I remember… I remember the sound… Of the earth… breathing…” (layered vocals, soft drum pulse like a heartbeat) Outro So I walk a little slower now Like the ground can hear my feet And the silence doesn’t scare me When I know who’s speaking through me
