[Verse]
Twelve shadows sit where the torches fade
Robes of dusk and their secrets laid
Each holds a whisper of the old world's trade
Time bends here but they remain unafraid
[Chorus]
The twelve elders watch
They never sleep
Guardians of truths buried deep
Their voices hum
Their silence weeps
Oh twelve elders
What secrets you keep
[Verse 2]
Stars above and the ground below
They saw the first flame
They felt it glow
Through battles
Storms
And endless snow
They watched the ages come and go
[Prechorus]
Do they judge or do they dream
Their eyes like rivers
Their gaze a stream
[Chorus]
The twelve elders watch
They never sleep
Guardians of truths buried deep
Their voices hum
Their silence weeps
Oh twelve elders
What secrets you keep
[Bridge]
If I could ask
Would they reply
Or would their answers fracture the sky
Do they hold the end
Do they hold the start
Are they the keepers of the world's heart
