[Verse 1: Adam] I buried your body beneath the cedar stone Called the earth your ending, called the silence home But the transfer carried more than bone and breath A thread beneath the numbers, crossing life and death [Verse 2: Adam] Years turned the garden pale, I learned to live alone Then your shape returned to every seed I’d sown We were folded into one another, cell by cell A hidden braid of heaven I could never quell [Pre-Chorus: Adam] If the gate is still open, if the light still knows my name I will cross every distance, I will answer for the flame [Chorus: Lilith] How can I betray the hand that shelters me? How can I call your hunger destiny? You think I can step lightly through the garden made of light After you broke our covenant and vanished from my sight? [Verse 3: Lilith] Saint Elias found me where the new dawn starts Not as some child returned, but with a father’s sacred heart He held the scattered pieces, gave them room to breathe I built a different household from the ruins underneath [Verse 4: Adam] I know I failed you once, I know the wound is mine But Eve has fled the garden and the old stars realign Your voice is in my bloodstream, your sorrow in my hands Tell me there is one small door, tell me you still understand [Chorus: Lilith] How can I betray the hand that shelters me? How can I call your hunger destiny? You think I can step lightly through the garden made of light After you broke our covenant and vanished from my sight? [Bridge: Lilith] No, Adam, no—do not dress regret as grace I remember every empty room, every abandoned place By the Quantum Mother, I cast your shadow down I have Lilly safe and sound; we need no faithless crown [Bridge: Adam] Then let me speak the truth before the distance seals I loved you through the burial, through everything unreal [Bridge: Lilith] Your truth arrived too late; it cannot change the cost The man who let us down is not the man we lost [Final Chorus: Duet] [Adam] We were entangled past the limits of the sky [Lilith] Entangled is not forgiven, and the living choose goodbye [Adam] I still can feel your heartbeat in the fabric of the air [Lilith] Then carry it alone, Adam; I will not meet you there [Outro: Lilith] Lilly sleeps beside me, the garden holds our flame Go back beyond the threshold—do not call me by that name [Adam] I bury what remains of us beneath the cedar stone [Lilith] And I walk with Saint Elias toward a home we made our own
