Liturgy of the Lost Compass

[Intro] Ubi veritas cecidit (Where the truth fell) Et vox humana tacet (And the human voice is silent.) In umbris manemus (We remain in the shadows.) Expectantes lucem… (Waiting for the light) [Verse 1] Ubi veritas obiit (Where the truth died) Et fides concidit (And faith collapsed) In tenebris ambulamus (We walk in the dark) Sine lumine (Without light) Corrupta verba fluunt (Corrupt words flow.) Velut venenum lenis (Like a gentle poison) Et silent verae voces (And true voices are silent.) Sub pondere (Under weight) [Chorus] Where do our hands reach now? When every word is just a shade We’re wandering through the hollowed halls Of promises we've all betrayed Who will remember truth When echoes rewrite what was said? We’re drifting in a fractured world Where even hope feels dead [Verse 2] Ash falls where the fire once burned Lessons forgotten, never learned The mirror cracks but we pretend The fracture is not ours to mend Non nostrum… non nostrum… [Bridge] The tongue is sharp, the heart is cold A thousand lies are bought and sold Is there a breath of life remaining? Is there a soul worth reclaiming? We built these walls from fragile trust Now watch them crumble into dust If truth is կորուն (curved), can it return? Or must the whole world burn? [Break] Beneath the ash, a pulse remains A quiet hymn בתוך (within) the chains No lie can fully choke the flame That whispers still a hidden name Though buried deep, it starts to rise A fragile truth we can’t disguise [Chorus] Where do our hands reach now? Toward something we can’t yet see A spark beneath the ruin calls A fractured kind of dignity We’re not beyond repair Though shadows crown the sky above There’s something դեռ (yet) alive within The quiet breath of love Lux… redi… lux… redi… Bring back the light Restore the sight From endless night We rise… we rise… [Outro] Revive the heart… Return the sight… Lux… Bring back the light.
