Mantle Prayer

[intro]
Strike a spark in the hollow black,
Hear the iron heart answer back.

[verse 1]
Ash in my lungs, faultlines in my chest,
Cracked horizons, sleepless rest.
I light a wick beneath the stone,
Call the heat I used to own.
Pressure builds where silence fed,
Molten vows beneath the dread.
If there’s a world still left to raise,
Let the core become a blaze.

[pre-chorus]
Kneel to the deep—steady my hands,
Teach me to breathe in broken lands.

[chorus]
This is my mantle prayer—ignite,
Turn my ruin into light.
From the fractures, forge a spine,
Make the buried fire mine.
Let the plates inside me shift,
Carry continents I lift.
When the night forgets my name,
Let the magma hold the flame.

[verse 2]
Veins like rivers under glass,
Ancient thunder trapped in mass.
Every tremor writes a psalm,
Quakes that break, then fall to calm.
I won’t beg the sky to mend—
Stone and I will make an end.
Hammered heat and mineral grace,
Build a new and breathing place.

[pre-chorus]
Kneel to the deep—steady my hands,
Shape me to stand on moving sands.

[chorus]
This is my mantle prayer—ignite,
Turn my ruin into light.
From the fractures, forge a spine,
Make the buried fire mine.
Let the plates inside me shift,
Carry continents I lift.
When the night forgets my name,
Let the magma hold the flame.

[bridge]
If I break—let it be birth,
Fault to mountain, wound to earth.
If I burn—let it refine,
Ore to will, and ash to sign.

[breakdown]
Heat—rise—
Core—realign.
Beat—twice—
Stone—be mine.

[final chorus]
This is my mantle prayer—ignite,
Pull the day from undernight.
From the fractures, forge a spine,
Trace a coastline on my mind.
Let the plates inside me shift,
Carry everything I lift.
When I’m nothing but a flame—
That’s the world I’ll dare to claim.
