(Words to be spoken.) ꜥnḫ... wḏꜣ... snb... (Life... Wholeness... Health...) Come closer, my daughter... Before the sun crosses the horizon, There is something you must know. The river carries every soul... But no river truly ends. --- [Verse 1 – The Father's Last Lesson] I was born beside the Nile, Where the morning kissed the sand. My father's hands were weathered stone, But they always held my hand. He taught me every star above, Every current, every tree. He said, "The world may take our bodies... But it cannot take what we leave." I carved the names of kings in stone. I watched their kingdoms turn to dust. I searched for something that could last... Beyond the reach of earth and rust. But I learned beneath the desert sun, The truth I failed to see: The greatest monument ever built Is the love that lives in me. --- [Pre-Chorus] The pyramids will crumble. The temples fade away. The greatest names of history Will disappear one day. But love is not a monument. It is not built of stone. What we give another heart... Is what continues on. --- [Chorus] We do not fear dying. We fear leaving unfinished love. We fear the final words unspoken. The final touch... The final hug. If death becomes another river, And my soul must cross alone... I hope the ones I loved before me Are waiting by the shore. bꜣ... (The soul that journeys.) Carry me beyond the horizon. --- [Verse 2 – The Question Humanity Carries] The scribes wrote of hidden pathways. The stars watched from above. The body returned to the earth... But the heart remembered love. The sun sails beyond the western sky, Through darkness unseen. Then rises again with morning light, Renewed and evergreen. prt m ḥrw... (Coming Forth by Day.) The Egyptians followed the sun Into the Duat... (The hidden realm beyond.) Believing the journey continued. Others searched for judgment. Others dreamed of reunion. Others saw the endless turning Of life, death, and rebirth. Some heard only silence. Some heard a calling. Some saw a doorway... Waiting to open. --- [Bridge – The Many Roads Beyond] ḏd mdw... (Words to be spoken.) For thousands of years... Humanity has stood before the doorway. Different names. Different stories. Different maps through the unknown. But every heart carries The same question. bꜣ... (The soul that journeys.) The rivers may have different shores. The stars may have different names. But every soul asks... Does love transcend all boundaries? --- [Final Chorus – Daughter's Voice] [Young Female Child's vocals only] You taught me every star above. You taught me every river's song. You told me not to fear the doorway... Because love would lead me on. We do not fear dying. We fear leaving unfinished love. But every word you gave me... Still rises from the dust. ꜥnḫ... (Life.) wḏꜣ... (Wholeness.) snb... (Health.) Your body returned to earth. But your love became my road. --- [Outro – Desert Wind | Ancient Whisper] ḏd mdw... (Words to be spoken.) prt m ḥrw... (Coming Forth by Day.) ꜣḫ... (Transfigured Spirit.) nḥḥ... (Eternity.) The voyage... Does not end. It simply... Comes forth By day. Beyond all maps... ...the voyage continues.
