INTRO (Soft harp and ambient wind sounds, Niamh whispers with Irish lilt) “From ash we rise... from roots we bloom…” “The wild in me, the peace in you...” VERSE 1 (Delicate and melodic, acoustic guitar + violin) I was born of storm and fire, In the hills where banshees cry, Carried oaths like ancient wires, 'Neath an ever-burning sky. They told me I was too much sound, That I’d break before I’d bend… But flowers bloom in battlegrounds — I rise, again and again. PRE-CHORUS (Build-up with marching drums and fiddle) You hear the war drums, feel the flame, But I bring peace with a rebel's name. Don’t tame the wild, don’t hush the song — I’ve been a whisper far too long. CHORUS (Explosive and melodic, soaring vocals with Celtic chanting) I am the feral flower — breaking through the stone! Thunder in my petals, and lightning in my bones! Sing me in the battle, crown me in the rain — Even in the ruin, I still bloom again. Ohhhh, I bloom again... (vocal run) I bloom again! VERSE 2 (Electric guitar joins, fierce yet beautiful) I’ve danced with ghosts at Samhain’s gate, Felt the frost kiss bare regret. Still I sowed my field of fate, With every tear I won’t forget. From bloodline bold and past unspoken, I carry what they tried to break. But broken girls from Celtic oceans Turn every scar into a stake. BRIDGE (Stripped down — piano + harp — showcasing Niamh’s raw voice) I am not soft… I am sacred. Not small… I’m serrated. The beauty they feared… the soul they created. The wildflower queen… who never waited. FINAL CHORUS (All instruments explode back in — audience clapping and chanting) I am the feral flower — rooted in the storm! Thorns and lace, I was battle-born! Sing me in your freedom, scream me in your pain — Even when I’m shattered, I still bloom again. OHHHH I BLOOM AGAIN! (fiddle wails) Say it with me — I BLOOM AGAIN! OUTRO (Crowd chanting softly with her as she whispers one last time) “From war to wild… from thorn to bloom…” “The flower’s feral — and she’s come for you.”
