Born In Blackwater

Born in dark waters
Eyes covered shut
Lungs full of drowning
Condemned to crawl through mud

I begged so long for healing
Fear was raised in me
Power sealed beneath the skin
A serpent dreaming wings

Time to time
Time will burn
Time will bloom
Time will turn

Time becomes the storm
And everything is temporary

Let water return to water
Let fire burn again
Let air become the breathing
Let earth fall into earth

At the center of the storm
Something sacred still survives
Born beneath the darkest waves
I was made to rise
At the center of it all
There is fire in the sea
I was born in darkened waters
But celestial fervor lives in me

In the endless song of elements
Only one was given voice
The one who screams in silence
The one who knew without a choice

Against the breaking waves
With so much left to give
A star fell from the heavens
Still destined to be lit

No victory
While endings never stay
There is always what is coming
There is always what awaits

So raise the glass today
To the eternal now
When the path ignites in faith
And the spheres begin to sound

At the center of the storm
Something sacred still survives
Born beneath the darkest waves
I was made to rise
At the center of it all
There is fire in the sea
I was born in darkened waters
But celestial fervor lives in me

For today I am the night
For today I am the sea
All I was
And all I am to be

While I can still enchant
While the flame still answers me
I will carry every form
Until the hidden light is free

Roar, time
Burn, storm
Break, wave
Rise, form

What was buried still remembers
What was silent starts to sing
In the heart of all destruction
Something opens
Something breathes

At the center of the storm
Something sacred still survives
Born beneath the darkest waves
I was made to rise
At the center of it all
There is fire in the sea
I was born in darkened waters
But celestial fervor lives in me

Let water return to water
Let fire burn again
Let air become the breathing
Let earth fall into earth
For today I am the night
And soon I am the sea

Roar, time
Urgent storm

In the center of it all
Celestial fervor shines
