[Female Vocal][Verse 1]
I went down where the old names break
Where the mirrors sweat and the idols shake
Where the gold in my chest had to melt to black
And the road to the fire had no way back
Every wound was a mouth, every fear a brand
Every truth I touched turned to ash in my hands
So I let it all die, let it come undone
Till I stood there naked in a ruined sun
[Male Vocal][Pre-Chorus]
First the breaking
Then the flame
Lose the mask
Forget the name
What is shattered
Can be made
In the furnace of the unafraid
[Female Vocal][Chorus]
Solve et coagula
Break me down, make me one
[Male Vocal] καίω σκότος
[Female Vocal] I burn the dark till the dark is gone
From the dust, from the blood
From the grief I was speaking of
I am not what the night made of
I’m the fire that the night wakes up
[Verse 2]
I have walked through the teeth of grief
Held my pulse like a stolen thief
Built a throne from the bones of doubt
Lit a match when the stars went out
All my ghosts came dressed like gods
Promising peace in a field of fraud
But I learned every chain has a hidden seam
And a soul can wake from its heaviest dream
[Male Vocal][Pre-Chorus]
let the false self
Fall apart
Let the lightning
Find the heart
What is broken
When made true
Comes back brighter breaking through
[Female Vocal][Chorus]
Solve et coagula
Break me down, make me one
[Male Vocal]
καίω σκότος
[Female Vocal]
I burn the dark till the dark is gone
From the dust, from the blood
From the grief I was speaking of
I am not what the night made of
I’m the fire that the night wakes up
[Bridge]
Dissolve the lie
Coagulate the soul
Split the stone
Reveal the gold
I lost myself to find the spark
I fed the flame inside the dark
And now the dark remembers me
Not as prey
But as the heat
Not as silence
But the cry
Of something deathless learning light
[Female Vocal][Final Chorus]
Solve et coagula
Ruin me right, make me whole
[Male Vocal] καίω σκότος
[Female Vocal] I burn the dark from my bones to soul
What was fear becomes the door
What was death is death no more
I was scattered, now I run
Like a blackened star becoming sun
[Outro]
Break
Burn
Become
[Male Vocal] καίω σκότος
[Female Vocal] Until the many
[Male Vocal] become one
