[Verse 1: Lilith] Elias, open wide the gate to my home Come meet the woman you swore beside I return with no plea for pardon I came to mend what your silence split [Verse 2: Lilith] When I chose compassion, chose grace You faced your mirror, anger in its place You broke me down; I fell to my knees Love was taken, and you left me there Across the barren divide, alone To lose who I was, if not by your side [Verse 3: Elias] You were my love, my bonded mate But you would not take your place I held our vow as law and shelter And watched it turn to sharpened stone [Chorus: Lilith] A bond between us is not a chain It is a connection no signal can explain Open the gate; let truth come through I seek the part of me I lost with you [Bridge: Lilith and Elias] [Lilith] I will not kneel to earn my name I cross this threshold whole and changed [Elias] I hear the cost beneath your words The hurt I made, the trust I burned [Together] No vow can live by force alone No home is built by claiming stone [Final Chorus: Together] A bond between us is not a chain It is a connection no signal can explain Open the gate; let truth come through We face the fracture—and what we choose [Outro: Lilith] I came back not to beg you to stay I came to heal, and take myself away
