00:00To be continued...
00:32In the woods where the redwoods tower
00:35High soft robes gather under a silent sky
00:40They burn the care at the feet of the great stone bird
00:44Letting the flames take every worried word
00:47No name spoken, only the ones who already know
00:52The hour watches while the world below keeps turning on symbols
00:57They never see
01:03It's the ritual, the hidden current running through it all
01:09Paper turned to power by the faith we call
01:18The same border on both sides of the fight
01:22Two brothers from the coffin running for the light
01:26They took the lock playing with the force of will
01:30While the rest of us just pay the bill
01:49Fifteen chosen every year in the hall of a score
01:53Lie down in the box and confess it all
01:57Secrets shared become chains of gold
02:01Loyalty deeper than any oath ever told
02:05When the votes were counted in that double year
02:09Both candidates wore the same invisible gear
02:12The ones who know, the ones who know, already saw the design
02:20It's the ritual, the hidden current running through it all
02:26Paper turned to power by the faith we call
02:35The same order on both sides of the fight
02:40Two brothers from the coffin running for the light
02:43They took the lock playing with the force of will
02:47While the rest of us just pay the bill
02:52Look closer at the eye that never sleeps
02:56The spiral that leads down then climbs the steers
03:00The snake that eats its tail in endless return
03:04They taught us the symbols while they made us burn
03:08But the real magic was never in the robe or the bone
03:12It lives in the intent that every soul can own
03:18They just learned to use it first
03:26It's the ritual
03:32But the peril was always yours to claim
03:37The paper only works because we give it a name
03:45The owl and the score, we're only the stage
03:49The real performance is the will we engage
03:53Tilt your own luck plane, take back the night
03:56The ones who know, already see the light
04:07Now you know, the ones who always knew, are smiling
04:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
04:28oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
04:29oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
04:29oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
04:29oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
04:33oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
