Intro
(quiet breathing, distant piano, one note repeating)
There was no sky No name, no sound Only a silence Too deep to drown
Verse 1
I felt the dark Before it had a face Before the stars were born Before there was a place
No up, no down No reason to begin Only an endless room With no one standing in
Verse 2
Then something moved A tremor in the black A spark without a shape That never could turn back
A whisper in the void A crack inside the night And every empty hand Reached out toward the light
Pre-Chorus
If everything must break Then let it break apart If every world begins It starts inside a heart
Chorus
We were the fire before the flame The first breath calling out a name The sound that split the dark in two And made a thousand skies come through
When nothing else was left to hold We turned the silence into gold And from the edge of endless night We became the light
Instrumental Rise
(drums enter slowly, strings rising, voice nearly shouting through the noise)
Oh— Oh— We became the light
Final Chorus
We were the fire before the flame The first and last, the same, the same The pulse beneath the universe The blessing and the curse
We broke the dark wide open then And taught the stars to burn again From all the pieces came a sky From all the endings came the beginning
We became the light We became the light We became the light
Outro
(music falls away, leaving only piano and distant static)
And somewhere in the silence The next world is waiting...
