[Seed of Fire] [ Verse 1: Intimate Vulnerable Male Vocals ] They mourn beside the cove among the whispering trees While north across the sea there is a bitter breeze The loss of one young son is heavy in the deep A promise to the world they struggle now to keep [ Pre-Chorus 1: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Female Vocals ] The sky is turning dark, the salt is turning grit A spark within the gloom is suddenly re-lit We sense the coming heat of all that we have known To guard the sacred blood and seeds that we have sown [ Chorus 1: Upfront Duet, Clear Tight Vocal Harmonies ] Love is the anchor holding steady in the storm Keeping the fire where the shadows are reborn Through every hollow vale and over every peak Finding the inner strength and courage that we seek [ Verse 2: Intimate Emotional Female Vocals ] The Mangkwan warriors rise from ridges made of stone Varang is on a throne of fossil and of bone With dark obsidian blades and hearts of bitter hate They sharpen jagged steel and wait beside the gate [ Pre-Chorus 2: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Female Vocals ] The warmth beneath the peak is starting now to rise The smoke from every vent is blinding to our eyes We march into the dark to face our every fear Knowing the final end of everything is near [ Chorus 2: Upfront Duet, Clear Tight Vocal Harmonies ] Life is a river cutting through the broken land Holding the future in each other's steady hand No matter what the weight, no matter what the cost Winning back every dream that we had nearly lost [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Solo and Acoustic Guitar Accents] [ Bridge 1: Dry Duet Vocals, Crisp Piano, Tight Rhythm ] Neteyam’s songcord beads in trembling blue hands Reflecting all the light of reefs and silver sands His memory is soft like waves upon the shore A boy they carry through the fire and the war [ Verse 3: Intimate Vulnerable Male Vocals ] The gunships of the Colonel cut the humid air Young Kiri kneels alone in silence and despair The earth begins to pulse, the fissures start to part With Eywa's ancient beat inside a heavy heart [ Pre-Chorus 3: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Female Vocals ] The ground begins to shake beneath a heavy foot The garden is submerged in sulfur and in soot The battle calls us out with thunder and with flame The world we used to know will never be the same [ Chorus 3: Upfront Duet, Clear Tight Vocal Harmonies ] Hope is the ember that will never turn to cold Writing the legend that has never yet been told Building a path of light through darkness of the night Turning the heavy grief and struggle into sight [ Bridge 2: Dry Duet Vocals, Crisp Piano, Tight Rhythm ] They stand in line as the caldera starts to break The family is firm while all Pandora shakes Through falling cinders and the drifts of heavy hail They shield the children from the fire on the trail [ Verse 4: Intimate Vulnerable Male Vocals ] Neytiri puts her rage and bitterness away To save the little ones on this defining day A songcord is pressed down in scorched and velvet ground Where tiny forest shoots can finally be found [ Pre-Chorus 4: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Female Vocals ] The raining of the ash is soft upon the face We find a new beginning in this broken place The cycle turns again, the spirit's flying high Under the wide expanse of an eternal sky [ Final Chorus: Upfront Duet, Clear Tight Vocal Harmonies ] We are the lightning and we are the falling rain Rising together now to break the heavy chain The spirit of the wood will certainly remain Healing the planet from the sorrow and the pain [ Outro: Upfront Dry Duet, Fading Emotional Resonance ] Gray dust is falling on the surface of the blue The family is whole, both scarred and born anew A seed within the soil where life begins to grow Finding a way to bloom despite the fire's flow
