Continuum Flame (Phoenix Walk)

Lyrics:

I RETURN.

⸻

Ati-Atihan…

I wear the origin on my skin

Not a costume—

I am where we begin

Feathers rising, earth in my veins

I am the memory

That still remains

⸻

Kadamayan…

Color, fire, we are one

Red and orange—

We rise as many, not alone

Diamond lines across my frame

Not design—

But a living name

⸻

I don’t walk alone

I carry time

In every step

Their voice is mine

⸻

I burn — I rise — I remain

Woman — fire — break the chain

I burn — I rise — I remain

Phoenix heart — eternal flame

(repeat)

⸻

Sinulog…

I move, I bend, I flow

Forward, back—

Still I grow

Red and gold, my spirit leads

Faith in motion

Lives in me

⸻

Watch me burn—

but not disappear

I choose…

what remains

⸻

I burn — I rise — I remain

Woman — fire — break the chain

I burn — I rise — I remain

Phoenix heart — eternal flame

I burn — I rise — I remain

From the ash — I speak my name

(repeat)
