[Intro]
Under the salt of the oldest stone
A name is buried, but not alone
Ash on the tongue, red thread in hand
I wake the hour they tried to command
[Verse 1]
Behind the veil of a silver lie
She counts the years as the living die
A crown of bone in a chamber sealed
Where every stolen breath is concealed
I saw my face in the funeral flame
A thousand lives carrying one true name
The gate swung wide when I broke the seal
The buried blood began to heal
[Pre-Chorus]
No more kneeling to the hands of fate
No more waiting outside the gate
[Chorus]
This time is mine
Taken back from the mouth of the night
This time is mine
I was born through the fire twice
Witch of Time, your spell unwinds
The dead return with open eyes
This time is mine
Belongs to the souls reborn inside
[Verse 2]
She hid the sun in a vessel of glass
Turned every future to echoes of past
But under the floor where the black roots crawl
I heard the first heart beating through all
Names in the dust rose up with me
Old scars opening, finally free
The wheel can turn, the chain can break
A soul remembers the vows it made
[Pre-Chorus]
No more kneeling to the hands of fate
No more waiting outside the gate
[Chorus]
This time is mine
Taken back from the mouth of the night
This time is mine
I was born through the fire twice
Witch of Time, your spell unwinds
The dead return with open eyes
This time is mine
Belongs to the souls reborn inside
[Bridge]
I am the child of the ending
I am the breath after flame
Every life you kept suspended
Has risen and answered its name
Cut the thread
Break the ring
Let the buried voices sing
Cut the thread
Break the ring
Time is not your offering
[Breakdown]
Mine
Mine
Mine
The hour is mine
[Final Chorus]
This time is mine
Taken back from the mouth of the night
This time is mine
I was born through the fire twice
Witch of Time, your spell unwinds
The dead return with open eyes
This time is mine
Belongs to the souls reborn inside
[Outro]
Behind sublime spells, the silence dies
The born return beneath unblinking skies
This time is mine
