A Light I Knew (feat. Violet Symphony)

Lyrics: Verse 1 There was a feeling in the air, A distant pulse I couldn't name. Not Kofan fire, not Hylan steel, Not any power I had trained to feel. I'd crossed the stars and fought in wars, I'd seen the things that legends hide. I'd learned that worlds can hold their secrets Far beyond the reach of mortal eyes. But somewhere near me burned a light, Ancient, quiet, strangely bright. I couldn't see its source or face, Yet somehow I could feel its grace. Pre-Chorus I knew the old accounts, I knew the stories told. A power beyond our understanding, Older than the worlds we know. But this was different. It was near. And somehow... It knew I was there. Chorus I felt a light before I saw the star, A distant flame that somehow wasn't far. I couldn't name it, couldn't understand, But something ancient reached across the land. I knew there were powers beyond the sky, I knew some things were never meant to die. And though I didn't know who you were then... I felt your light before I knew your name. Verse 2 I'd heard of worlds beyond our own, Of ancient powers lost to time. I'd heard of a distant world called Sozuno, Though little of its secrets had been mine. The records spoke of something more, Of energies that gods might wield. I had no reason to believe That such a force would ever be revealed. Yet there it was beneath the noise, Beneath the engines, beneath the stars. A whisper underneath reality, Calling from somewhere beyond the dark. Chorus I felt a light before I saw the star, A distant flame that somehow wasn't far. I couldn't name it, couldn't understand, But something ancient reached across the land. I knew there were powers beyond the sky, I knew some things were never meant to die. And though I didn't know who you were then... I felt your light before I knew your name. Verse 3 I wondered if I'd lost my mind, Four thousand years can change a soul. Perhaps the ice had left me hearing Echoes from a universe I used to know. But every time that presence came, I felt no threat within its glow. No hunger, anger, or command... Just something watching from below. And somewhere in that silent light, I sensed a purpose I couldn't see. As if a path had crossed my own Long before it ever came to me. Bridge I had known the touch of power. I had known the weight of war. I'd prayed to forces older than memory... But I'd never felt this before. A light without a weapon. A strength without a throne. A presence that could stand among the stars... And yet remain unknown. Who were you? I didn't know. Why did I feel you? I couldn't say. But somewhere in the darkness... I knew our paths would cross someday. Final Chorus I felt a light before I saw the star, A hidden flame that somehow wasn't far. Beyond the worlds, beyond what I could see, Something ancient had reached out to me. I knew there were powers beyond the sky, I knew some mysteries still waited in the night. And though I didn't know who you were then... I felt your light before I knew your name. I felt your light... Before I knew your name. Outro Now I know the light was real. Now I know the star had watched. And perhaps the strangest part... Was that long before I knew you, you already knew me.
