[Intro]
[Chanting softly] ahh-ahh
[Chanting softly] yeah yeah
(look)
(uh)
[Verse 1 – Male]
Used to chase quick highs, woke up with a headache
Money on the floor, heart heavy like dead weight
Scrolling through the pain, searching for a next fix
Same party, same faces, same empty metrics
Now I breathe slow, count ten, let the doubt go
Hands up, eyes closed, talking to that light glow
Gave up what was killing me, called it sacrifice
Lost a couple fake friends, gained a calmer life (yeah)
[Chorus – Female]
Ankh on my chain, peace in my brain (woah)
Walk through the flame, blessings in the rain
I let the past die, I’m not the same (not the same)
New day, new way, I’m speaking your name
(Yeah-yeah) ankh on my chain, peace in my brain
(Yeah-yeah) blessings on blessings, they fall when I pray
I let the past die, I’m not the same
New day, new way, I’m speaking your name (hey)
[Verse 2 – Female]
Gave my fear back, told shame “you can keep that”
Took my power home, I ain’t trying to repeat that
Meditate, sunrise, quiet in my rib cage
Now my thoughts line up, stepping out the old cage
Healed girl, healed boy, that’s a whole bloodline
Turn pain to a prayer, turn hurt to a gold sign
Soft voice, strong spine, I protect my peace
If it costs my soul, then the price too steep (too steep)
[Chorus – Male]
Ankh on my chain, peace in my brain (yeah)
Walk through the flame, blessings in the rain (skrrt)
I let the past die, I’m not the same
New day, new way, I’m speaking your name (aye)
(Yeah-yeah) ankh on my chain, peace in my brain
(Yeah-yeah) blessings on blessings, they fall when I pray
I let the past die, I’m not the same
New day, new way, I’m speaking your name
[Bridge – Male & Female]
[Beat drops to bass and claps]
(Male) Took the pain, made it promise (promise)
(Female) Took the loss, made it harvest (harvest)
(Male) Every scar, now a sermon (yeah)
(Female) Every tear, made me honest
(Male) I was running in circles
(Female) Now I’m running to grace
(Male) Put that symbol on my chest
(Female) Put that stillness in my face (woah)
[Chorus – Both]
Ankh on my chain, peace in my brain (hey)
Walk through the flame, blessings in the rain
I let the past die, I’m not the same (not the same)
New day, new way, I’m speaking your name
(Yeah-yeah) ankh on my chain, peace in my brain
(Yeah-yeah) blessings on blessings, they fall when I pray (they fall)
I let the past die, I’m not the same
New day, new way, I’m speaking your name
[Chant Outro]
[Crowd chant] new day, new way
[Crowd chant] blessings on the way
[Soft chant] ankh, life, grace
[Soft chant] peace all in this place
