Solve et Coagula

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

First the breaking

Then the flame

Lose the mask

Forget the name

What is shattered

Can be made

In the furnace of the unafraid

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

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

let the false self

Fall apart

Let the lightning

Find the heart

What is broken

When made true

Comes back brighter breaking through

Solve et coagula

Break me down, make me one

καίω σκότος

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

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

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

Break

Burn

Become

[Male Vocal] καίω σκότος

[Female Vocal] Until the many

[Male Vocal] become one
