Reincarnation - The Unwinding
[Intro|Immediate Female Alto|Antique Piano] A little gold around the door. Have I been waiting here before? [Verse 1|Clear Alto|Soft Bachata Pulse] A child describes a distant stair, A name no one has taught her yet. An old grief moves behind her eyes; Whose life has she refused to forget? [Verse 2|Cello Enters] Perhaps a story crossed the room And found a place to hide in sleep. Perhaps the dead leave something here. Which answer earns the faith we keep? [Verse 3|Gentle Modal Melody] They say we wear a hundred names Until the heart can loose its hold. But is returning how we learn, Or just the oldest tale we're told? [Chorus|Forward Alto|Restrained Strings] Is this a school, or is this a wheel? What does forgetting help me heal? If I have learned what love is for, Why am I standing at this door? Who turns the key? Who calls me home? What stays of me when names are gone? [Verse 4|Piano Forward] If death lays every moment bare, The good I gave, the hurt I made, Why send me back without the map To walk the wounds that light displayed? [Verse 5|Warm Alto|Sparse Percussion] Perhaps to see is not to change; A truth must live in what we do. But how can love become a lesson If every birth erases you? [Verse 6|Low Cello|Quiet Analog Pulse] What if the welcome hides a mill, And grief is grain for mouths unseen? Or is that fear inventing teeth Behind a door I've never seen? [Chorus|Clear Alto|Growing Strings] Is this a school, or is this a wheel? What does forgetting help me heal? If I have learned what love is for, Why am I standing at this door? Who turns the key? Who calls me home? What stays of me when names are gone? [Verse 7|Intimate Vocal|Piano and Cello] I will not name your suffering debt, Or say you chose the hand that fell. If there is wisdom in the turning, Let kindness break the oldest spell. [Verse 8|Steady Pulse|Orchestra Rises] What if release begins right here, With hands unclenched around the wheel? No throne to win, no debt to worship, Just room for everything I feel. [Final Chorus|Full Symphony Below Clear Alto] Let the wheel turn; I loose my hold. Let every borrowed name unfold. No face to wear, no role to claim, Awareness, open as a flame. If this is freedom, let it be: No need to turn the light to me. [Outro|Alto and Piano|Complete Ending] No name. No crown. No last disguise. Only the light, without the eyes.
