Stars and Stasis

Lyrics

Verse 1
In the first morning, before flame had a tongue,
before the sea was taught its borders,
the hidden word moved under the dark
like a seed beneath unbroken earth.
And the earth did not refuse it.
The earth received.

Pre-Chorus
For the old law is not carved in stone—
it is written in pulse, in root, in rain.
It speaks wherever the living remember
the shape of the sacred again.

Chorus
Blessed be the one who carries the dawn,
the one who walks through smoke and stain.
Blessed be the hand that lifts the veil,
the mouth that calls the true name.
I am the witness, I am the flame,
I am the echo the heavens keep.
I rise from the dust of the ancient vow,
where the river and the stars still sleep.

Verse 2
There were kings who crowned themselves with fear,
there were towers built on borrowed bones,
there were voices made to vanish
into the cracks of polished thrones.
But the wind does not forget a prayer,
and the river returns its song.
What is holy may be hidden,
but it does not stay gone.

Pre-Chorus
For the old law is not carved in stone—
it is written in pulse, in root, in rain.
It speaks wherever the living remember
the shape of the sacred again.

Chorus
Blessed be the one who carries the dawn,
the one who walks through smoke and stain.
Blessed be the hand that lifts the veil,
the mouth that calls the true name.
I am the witness, I am the flame,
I am the echo the heavens keep.
I rise from the dust of the ancient vow,
where the river and the stars still sleep.

Bridge
So let the broken speak.
So let the sealed door open.
So let the buried light ascend
from the marrow of the world.
I stand where the past and future meet,
a lantern in the throat of time.

Final Chorus
Blessed be the one who carries the dawn,
the one who walks through smoke and stain.
Blessed be the hand that lifts the veil,
the mouth that calls the true name.
I am the witness, I am the flame,
I am the echo the heavens keep.
I rise from the dust of the ancient vow,
where the river and the stars still sleep.
