When the Light Returns” Verse I All winter I carried the silence like frost beneath my skin The sky was a locked cathedral and no birds dared enter in But under the sleeping valley a quiet pulse remained A promise in the dark soil a fire beneath the rain Pre-Chorus I heard it in the thawing river I felt it in my bones Chorus The light returns, the light returns over the silver snow Through frozen earth and broken stone the hidden rivers flow The light returns, the light returns through every waiting tree And something long forgotten is waking now in me Verse II The mountains breathe out slowly the ice loosens its crown The long night folds its shadow and lays its darkness down I walk into the morning bare hands against the sky The wind becomes a choir where silent spirits rise Pre-Chorus The earth remembers sunlight and so do I Chorus The light returns, the light returns over the silent fields Where winter held the world in stone the living green now heals The light returns, the light returns through every buried seed And something fierce and golden is rising now in me Bridge Oh — call the dawn call the river wide Call the wild heart we buried inside Oh — break the frost let the old grief fall The sun remembers the name of us all Final Chorus The light returns, the light returns across the northern air Through ash and snow and empty roads a brighter world is there The light returns, the light returns I feel it in my breath The quiet fire of living things returning into light #novasoundscape #etherealmusic #ritualambient #nordicambient #celticambient #darkambient #atmosphericmusic #ambientmusic #nordicmusic #etherealvocals #cinematicambient #springawakening
