Intro (8 bars) (instrumental, hitaasti nouseva syna + kuoro “oooh”) Verse 1 Under a sky of silver ash The island hums, a distant crash Ancient fire beneath the snow A heartbeat starting slow Whispers rise from stone and flame Calling us by older names We stand still, but feel the sound A sleeping giant turning round Pre-Chorus From ice to fire, dark to light The ground remembers every night Chorus Fire beneath the silence Burning through the snow Red rivers in slow motion Teaching us to let go Fire beneath the silence Heaven torn in two When the mountain opens I hear the truth in you Verse 2 (shortened) Blackened skies, a glowing rain Beauty born from fear and pain We don’t run, we don’t deny We lift our eyes into the sky Pre-Chorus From frozen tears to molten gold The story of this land is told Chorus Fire beneath the silence Burning through the snow Red rivers in slow motion Teaching us to let go Fire beneath the silence Calling me to stand When the mountain opens I understand Bridge (key change / minimal beat) Lava sings in minor keys A sacred melody Not the end, not a mistake This is every breath we take
