[Verse 1] [Extremely deep cavernous growl] I carried mountains in my chest Names and faces, dreams and wraiths Every road became a question Every answer turned to dust I followed echoes through the silence Searching for what could not leave Holding fragments of a story I no longer needed to believe [Chorus] Nothing came Nothing changed The weight remained But not the pain The door was never somewhere else The path was never far away I stopped reaching And the silence stayed [Verse 2] Beneath the noise a deeper current Beneath the fear a steady flame Not a voice and not a vision Only presence without a name The bells are ringing through the distance The drones are rising from below Something ancient keeps unfolding Something I have always known [Bridge] Not found Not lost Not broken Not repaired Only here Only now Only this [Outro] The mountain stays The silence stays The heart remains And I remain
