[Verse 1 - Flogger] Leather and lace. Amber resin in dark. Reassuring thud, Landing its mark. High on my back, Near shoulder and spine. A bundle of current, Running the lines. A soft quiver flicking, The leather waves start. Every arc whispering: You are safe. I asked you to stay, While my body shook. One raw exposure Is all it took. [Pre-Chorus 1] Bark on a tree, The skin on me. Sap flows through, My blood knows. Ambergate. [Chorus] Hold me while I shake. Hold me while it rises. Is this love, Or energy climbing? Quiet wonder blooms. Mind amazed, confused. The wood split. The sap runs loose. [Verse 2 - The Breathwork] The pump of the lungs, The circular drive. Oxygen burning Is feeding the rise. Crying from somewhere, Their heaving chests groan. Their voices, pre-language. We're not alone. This body's awake, To blow the river wide. The tingling's moving, So free the dam's gate. The thousand-year hum, The beat of the drum. The raw vibration This blood has become. [Pre-Chorus 2] Gather the mana. The body self holds. Breath is the ladder, Up where it goes. In through the center, Out to the self. Intention is forming, A prayer chain sent. [Chorus 2] Hold me while I shake. Hold me while it rises. Is this love, Or energy climbing? Lightning, awe widens. Words can't express. Soft vessel released. The crown is set. [Bridge - Lomi Lomi] Two hands. Years later. Same trembling field. And overtones landed, The gateway expanded. The long, brisk strokes, From the tips to the head. Every line waking, Till they intersect. No more the pieces. No more the parts. Every thread Finding its heart. [Final Chorus - TRE] Hold me while I shake. Hold me while it rises. Is this love, Or energy climbing? I hold my own shake. Not numb it away. A purpose continued, Not a one time quake. [Outro] The blood in the marrow. Thud echoes in bone. Highly charged static, But the field's not blown. All at once, The rain pours down. Not falling apart, Just fresh starts. The scent of amber... rises. The open gate... surprises. Ambergate.
