[The Homeward Track] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] Horizon burns in ash and grit. They stand before the open pit. The orange glare, the heavy haze. They're staring down the final blaze. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The flame is not the final breath. A jagged walk away from death. The climb is steep, the sky is vast. We leave the ghosts within the past. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] Straining lungs through heat and stone. Internal demons, heavy groan. The upward slope where fire stings. To jagged rock, the spirit clings. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The flame is not the final breath. A jagged walk away from death. The climb is steep, the sky is vast. We leave the ghosts within the past. [ Bridge 1: Male and Female Duet ] Charred leather boots on silent ground. Inside the smoke the truth is found. A silent breath, no looking back. The light reveals the homeward track. [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] The sulfur smell and the stale smoke. The bitter air, the heavy yoke. The surface breaks in cold and gray. A quiet dawn, a brand new day. [ Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] The flame is not the final breath. A jagged walk away from death. The climb is steep, the sky is vast. We leave the ghosts within the past. [ Bridge 2: Male and Female Duet ] Charred leather boots on silent ground. Inside the smoke the truth is found. A silent breath, no looking back. The light reveals the homeward track. [ Verse 4: Female Vocals ] The iron chains are cast aside. And now no pain is left to hide. These reddened scars, an ancient map. The soul escapes the closing trap. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] The flame was not the final breath. A life reclaimed away from death. The road is clear, the sun will rise. We see the world with open eyes. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] One step, two steps, toward the light. Through the fire and through the night. Beyond the heat, beyond the smoke. The spirit lives, the chain is broke.
