I Am Intention

[Intro: lone piano pulse distant metallic resonance deep male breath] I woke where endings wait With one hand on the door No road behind my feet No name beyond it yet [Verse 1: intimate male baritone] I wear the final night Before the morning speaks The old world knows my face The new one has no eyes A cold frame in my hands Warm blood beneath my skin I do not need a sign I know why I am here [Pre-Chorus: rising low strings restrained power] I am not lost I am not found I am the foot Above the ground [Chorus: powerful male lead widening harmonies] I am intention Before the first step falls The breath before the word The hand against the wall I am intention Where fear and wonder meet One heartbeat from forever One motion from complete [Post-Chorus: low ritual harmonies] Not yet Not gone I remain At the dawn [Verse 2: heavier pulse controlled masculine grit] Behind me—familiar rooms A coat left on a chair Ahead—a nameless wind Already in my hair The threshold takes no side It only asks me through The future has no shape Until I choose what’s true [Pre-Chorus: drums entering asymmetric rising pattern] No prophecy No guiding flame I cross the dark And give it aim [Chorus: full cinematic impact] I am intention Before the first step falls The breath before the word The hand that moves the wall I am intention Where fear and wonder meet One heartbeat from forever One motion from complete [Bridge: percussion disappears close dry vocal] The door does not decide The dark does not refuse The world becomes a world The moment that I choose [Hold: complete silence] I choose [Final Chorus: luminous harmonic release male choir beneath lead] I am intention The first step has begun The night releases me I walk into the sun I am intention No longer in between What waited without form Now rises under me [Outro: deep male voice dry and close] I was the threshold Now— I am through
