We rise from the dust of forgotten kingdoms
From the shadows where old gods sleep
We have wandered through the silence
Through the smoke
Through the weight of the world that tried to bury us
But we are still here
Still breathing
Still becoming

Tonight the veil thins
Tonight the air remembers our names
Every heartbeat in this room
Echoes like a drum in a sacred chamber
Calling us forward
Calling us home

You have come with open hands, with open hearts
With fire behind your ribs
And together
We will unearth what was lost
We will awaken what was waiting

Let the old stories fall away
Let doubt turn to dust
Let the world outside fade
Until only this moment remains
Because tonight, we are not many
We are one
One will, one with
One rise, flame

So stand with us, one rise, flame
Feel the ground beneath you stir
Feel the darkness bow its head
Feel the light gathering at the edges of your soul

This is the beginning of something holy
Something dangerous
Something reborn from embers and bone
This is the ritual
This is the awakening
This is ashes of Eden
