🎵 Lyrics
High where breath is pain and prayer Where three white peaks divide the air A hollow waits, untouched by age No road, no mark, no written page Mist gives way to perfect ground An oval cut where sound bends round At its heart a silent bowl Smooth as thought, and twice as cold O Starfield, hidden, still Between the world and greater will No name you take, no oath you bind You wait for stars—and those aligned Not built for war, nor crown, nor flame Not carved for gods to stake a claim Even wyrms who cross the sky Pass unknowing, passing by The Wolves speak not, the wise deny Maps grow thin where truths run dry Yet still the night bends low and near As if the stars themselves wait here Four came up the frozen spine Where Fairy Hills to Veresoo climb Steel and faith and borrowed grace And hands that steal from fate’s own face Snow took oath to slow their breath Cold weighed every step with death Yet something old had marked their way Long before that fated day Lianna walks with silent flame Star-thief, spell-thief, named yet unnamed Johannes sings where doubt has led Wine and mercy for the dead Katani stands, oath-honed and bright A blade taught patience, born of light Hayao moves where silence stays Each step a vow the cold obeys The sky lay bare, no cloud, no sound A plate of night, the stars leaned down Lianna knelt where stillness spoke And drew the spark the heavens broke All night long the power poured Not fire nor frost nor mage’s hoard Until her breath was light and gone And she was more than flesh at dawn The Starfield woke, the silence broke Fivefold wards in light were spoke A dome arose, the sky replied Cold stood still and stepped aside Storms grew mild, the hunger eased The First Ones turned, their howls appeased Not banished, no—just shown the way To sleep beyond the ice once more The Winter Star still burns above The field stands empty, calm, unmoved Five lights fade from mortal sight And wait for need—and truer night
