[Verse 1]
Ash on my tongue
old runes under skin
Lanterns swing low
as the long night begins
Books breathing dust
pages taste like rain
I speak the word
and it answers my name
[Chorus]
I am the Awakened
seer in the smoke
Fire in my fingers
world in my throat
I bend, I break
the edges of fate
Sage, wizard, sorcerer, mage
I step through the gate
[Verse 2]
Circles of chalk
burn blue on the floor
Shadows lean in
like they’ve waited before
Stars rearrange
at the lift of my hand
I pull down a path
only I understand
[Chorus]
I am the Awakened
seer in the smoke
Fire in my fingers
world in my throat
I bend, I break
the edges of fate
Sage, wizard, sorcerer, mage
I step through the gate
[Bridge]
Every spell costs
I have paid in scars (yeah)
Traded my sleep
for a map of the dark
Still I rise, still I rise
from the embers and age
Not cursed, not afraid
only Awakened and awake
[Chorus]
I am the Awakened
seer in the smoke
Fire in my fingers
world in my throat
I bend, I break
the edges of fate
Sage, wizard, sorcerer, mage
I step through the gate
