Lyrics
Soothsayer - male, deep whispered, calm and low
The shadows stretch longer every night
Wars that never seem to end
Fear whispers through the wires and the skies
Dread sits heavy on every breath we take
Mystic - female, soft ethereal whisper
I see the cracks in the fragile peace
Uncertainty clouds tomorrow’s light
People holding on
Wondering if the dawn will ever feel right
Soothsayer - male, whispered
Yet in the silence, something stirs…
Both - soft layered whisper
Even a sliver… can break through
A single spark in the endless blue
Hope doesn’t shout, it barely gleams
But it finds its way through the darkest dreams
Mystic - female, intimate and gentle
The world feels heavy, spinning too fast
Inflation rising, trust wearing thin
We search the horizon, lost in the vast
Asking the stars where the healing begins
Soothsayer - male, deep and thoughtful
I’ve read the signs through smoke and flame
The old orders shifting, nothing the same
But listen closer, beneath the roar…
There’s a quiet pulse we’ve felt before
Bridge - Both, building gently, still intimate whisper to soft harmony
Mystic - female
It’s right there… waiting in the quiet
Soothsayer - male
Just beyond the fear, just past the doubt
Both - close warm harmony
That sliver of hope — it’s already shining
All you have to do… is reach out and take it
Final Chorus - Both, soft and warm, gentle build
Even a sliver… can break through
Turn the fear into morning dew
Hope doesn’t shout, it barely gleams
But it carries us into what tomorrow means
Outro - Mystic - female, fading whisper
Take it…
Soothsayer - male, very soft
It’s yours…
