Night folds over mountain’s spine

Darkness swirls, the stars decline

Wind carries a hidden call

Shadows stretch and crawl

Steps through ash and ancient stone

A pilgrim carved from bone

Serpents coil beneath the sand

Time slips through the hand

Eyes like embers, hollow fire

Dreams that haunt and never tire

Every breath a vow unspoken

Every silence broken

Feel the darkness start to turn

Hear the hidden lantern burn

Into the black we climb

Beyond the edge of time

Drums of the earth resound

Lost and finally found

Into the flame we fall

Answer the ancient call

Hearts like thunder cry

We do not kneel, we rise

Ahh ahh ahh

Circles spiral, rhythms collide

Ahh ahh ahh

Pulse and counterpulse inside

Strings shimmer in shifting time

Drums multiply, they climb

Every hand strike, every footstep

Feeds the ritual’s depth

Mirrors made of smoke and glass

See the future in the past

Every fear a shedding skin

Let the deeper rite begin

Tension bending iron skies

Fire waking in our eyes

Into the black we rise

Flame in our closed eyes

Storm and spirit unified

No more place to hide

Into the fire we run

Darker than the sun

From the shadow we are born

Crowned in ash and storm

Wind across the stone

We ascend alone

Echoes linger on
