[Intro — Female voice alone] Oh—ah… Oh—ah… Grit… Can you hear me? [Verse 1 — Vanta, female] Morning wind moved through the canopy, Then a crack cut straight across the tune. Heavy branch came down above the window, Timber shifted at the edge of the room. Flicker called, “The door is clear— Left side, away from the leaning beam.” Grit stood rigid by the wall, Looking somewhere I couldn't see. [Pre-Chorus — Vanta] I remembered how he'd said my name, Not a challenge, not a shout. Now my own legs shook beneath me, But I found the words to lead him out. [Chorus — Vanta, soaring female lead] This time I call your name, You don't have to answer strong. Find my voice beneath the breaking, Take one step and come along. You were there when I couldn't move— That doesn't make this yours to face. Let me be the voice beside you. This time I call your name. [Build — Female vocal chops] One step… Hear me… One step… [Drop — Sixteen bars, powerful melodic hardstyle] [Verse 2 — Vanta] Grit turned slowly toward the doorway, Said, “I hear you.” Took a step. Flicker moved onto the open ground, Called us through and waited there. I went with him past the threshold, Kept us clear of where the branch had struck. Three tails crossed into the clearing— Then we stopped and all looked back. [Flicker — Androgynous spoken] Three outside. Stay away from the roof. [Bridge — Almost silent piano] [Grit — Low male voice] I knew what I should do. I couldn't make it happen. [Vanta — Soft female singing] You don't have to tell me twice. I remember that same silence. Standing here in Titans Maw, I won't turn this into shame. You were frightened. You still heard me. Nothing changes what you mean. [Final Chorus — Vanta; Flicker harmony] This time I called your name, You didn't have to answer strong. Found my voice beneath the breaking, Took a step and came along. You were there when I couldn't move— Now there was room to trade that place. Still the same three in the clearing. This time I called your name. [Final Drop — Sixteen bars, emotional lead melody] [Outro — Wind and fading piano] [Grit — Male spoken] Thank you. [Vanta — Female spoken] Stay beside us. [Flicker — Androgynous spoken] The roof is still leaning. Nobody goes back yet.
