[Rann 1 — Guth Fir]
Tha sgàil nar measg.
Chan eil i ùr.
Chan eil i air ainmeachadh.
Tha i fo na faclan,
fo na ceuman,
fo na làmhan nach do ghluais.

[Rann 2 — Cor Fhir]
Cha do labhair sinn uile,
ged a bha sinn nar seasamh còmhla.
[Guth Fir (aonaranach)]
Dh’fhan cuid de na faclan
far nach robh solas.
[Cor Fhir]
Bha an ceum ro throm—
[Guth Fir (aonaranach)]
—agus chaidh e seachad gun fhuaim.

[Rann 3 — Cor Fhir]
Bha sàmhchair ann
far an robh feum air guth.
[Guth Fir (aonaranach)]
Bha làmh air a cumail air ais,
chan ann le neart,
ach le dìth.
[Cor Fhir]
Dh’fhuirich sinn.
Chan eil sinn cinnteach carson.

[Rann 4 — Cor Fhir (iomlan)]
Bha cuideam os ar cionn,
gun ainm,
gun chruth.
Cha do bhris e.
Cha do thuit e.
Ach bha e ann,
mar chreig nach gluais.

[Rann 5 — Guth Fir (aonaranach)]
Cha tàinig an Dhragaìn.
Cha do fhreagair e.
[Cor Fhir]
Cha robh comharra ann,
cha robh solas ann.
Dh’fhuirich e sàmhach,
mar an talamh fhèin.

[Rann Deireannach — Guth Fir (aonaranach)]
Dh’fhan an sgeul—

[Verse 1 — Male Voice]
There is a shadow among us.
It is not new.
It is not named.
It lies beneath the words,
beneath the steps,
beneath the hands that did not move.

[Verse 2 — Male Chorus]
Not all of us spoke,
though we stood together.
[Male Voice]
Some words remained
where there was no light.
[Male Chorus]
The step was too heavy—
[Male Voice]
—and it passed without sound.

[Verse 3 — Male Chorus]
There was silence
where a voice was needed.
[Male Voice]
A hand was held back,
not by force,
but by lack.
[Male Chorus]
We remained.
We are not certain why.

[Verse 4 — Male Chorus (full)]
There was weight above us,
without name,
without form.
It did not break.
It did not fall.
But it was there,
like a rock that does not move.

[Verse 5 — Male Voice]
The Dragon did not come.
It did not answer.
[Male Chorus]
There was no sign,
there was no light.
It remained silent,
like the earth itself.

[Final Verse — Male Voice]
The story remained—
(interruption, no ending)
