Woman – spoken chant] Do not ask where the sea will end. The sea answers no one. It keeps the bones of kings, the tears of mothers, the names of those who sailed before dawn. I have seen the raven circle the mast before sunrise. I have seen wolves waiting beyond tomorrow. Still… we sail. [Men’s Choir] Row… Row the black water. Row… The oars remember. Row… The sea is older than fear. ⸻ [Woman] The wind carries Odin’s whisper. Not every ear can hear it. Some hear only thunder. Some hear their own heartbeat. A few… hear destiny. Do not lower your eyes. The stars have chosen this road long before we were born. [Men’s Choir] Row… Iron in our hands. Row… Salt on our skin. Row… Until the raven rests. ⸻ [Woman] If I fall, do not stop. If you fall, the sea will carry your name. Nothing is ever lost. The waves remember. The mountains remember. The fire remembers. [Great Choir] We are not the first. We are not the last. We are the breath between yesterday and tomorrow. ROW! ROW! ROW! Until the sun drinks the sea.
