(Doom-heavy opener, sparse nu metal tension, long atmospheric passages)
[Opening — spoken over low drone, nearly subterranean]
"No one tells you what comes after knowing
They only ever talk about the light
They never mention what the light reveals
That cannot be put back into darkness"
[Verse 1]
Sophia fell before the world was named
Her longing built the architecture of our chains
The Demiurge was born from her forgetting
And every throne on earth has been her reckoning
The Pleroma watches from beyond the veil of veils
While every system built on borrowed light eventually fails
I felt her grief inside the geometry of law
The feminine erased from every temple, every door
[Pre-Chorus — building weight]
This is not liberation
This is the cost of seeing
This is not freedom
This is what freedom actually weighs
[Chorus — heavy, slow, doom crawl]
The unnamed current runs beneath
Every river they have dammed and sold
The unnamed current runs beneath
Every truth they buried in the cold
You cannot own the water
You cannot own the wind
You cannot own the knowing
Once the knowing moves within
[Verse 2]
Venus retrograde and still they sell her face
The Moon reduced to metaphor, to myth, to marketplace
The receptive principle inverted into compliance
The oldest force in nature repackaged as defiance
[Atmospheric passage — spoken]
"She was here before their first god spoke a word
She was here before the first border was drawn
She is here now
In everything they tried to legislate out of existence
Running underneath it all
Unnamed
Uncaptured
Current"
[Bridge — nu metal surge]
I am not afraid of what I carry now
I am not afraid of what I carry now
The weight of knowing is the only honest weight
Every other burden was assigned
[Final Chorus — slower, heavier]
The unnamed current runs beneath
Everything they ever tried to name
The unnamed current runs beneath
And it will run when they are gone the same
You cannot own the water
You cannot own the wind
You cannot own the knowing
Once the knowing moves within
Once the knowing moves within
