[Intro] (Melancholic harp fingerpicking) (Soft, echoing acoustic guitar notes) (Distant, rolling log drum heartbeat) [Verse 1] Heavy is the armor when the noise is gone Stood alone where the old paths cross the dawn Ẹ̀dá mọ́lẹ́, kọ̀lẹ́ tàn mọ́ mi lọ́wọ́ (Creature of light, shine your radiance upon me) The iron shield is cold against my bone Ceò nam beann, hide me from the stone [Pre-Chorus] (Whispered harmonies) How far can a giant walk alone? Before the blood turns into polished stone? Ọ̀nà la lẹ́yìn mi, wàhálà nínú mi (There is a path behind me, and turmoil within me.) Every mile a monument of bone [Chorus] (Swell of atmospheric synths and mellow afrobeat percussion) In the mists of the crossroads where the shadows fall I built a kingdom from a ruined wall A juggernaut walking through the silent haze Counting the ghosts of my unstoppable days Ẹ̀dá mọ́lẹ́ (Creature of light), can you hear my call? In the mists of the crossroads, I stand tall [Verse 2] (Soft melodic vocals) The village sleeps behind the highland mist I am the punch the world could not resist Omi ó lè fọ́ òkuta, water wears the stone Yet the victor sits upon a throne of bone Breathe the fog, let the echoes fade Look at the monster that my drive has made [Bridge] (A cappella with echoing cathedral reverb) Ọ̀nà la... (Show me the way) Ceò nam beann...(Mist of the mountains) Is the power a blessing or a heavy chain? Washing my soul in the midnight rain [Chorus] (Full instrumentation swells - harp, guitar, log drum, ambient pads) In the mists of the crossroads where the shadows fall I built a kingdom from a ruined wall A juggernaut walking through the silent haze Counting the ghosts of my unstoppable days Ẹ̀dá mọ́lẹ́ (Creature of light), can you hear my call? In the mists of the crossroads, I stand tall [Outro] (Fading harp plucks and echoing wind chimes) (Whispered) Just a shadow in the mist... [Fade Out] [End]
