Deep beneath the waking world,
where buried kingdoms sleep...
*Beat...*
*Beat...*
The stone has learned to beat.
### [Verse 1]
Eye-ruh-gon left the Spring Court,
through petals, gold and green,
then winter took the world away
and swallowed what had been.
A gryphon struck through mountain snow,
he fell but would not yield.
Far below those frozen peaks,
another pulse was sealed.
We walked beneath the earth again,
where no true daylight burns,
and through the rock beneath our feet
a buried heartbeat turned.
### [Chorus]
**Beat, beat, under the stone,**
**something old remembers its bones.**
**Rot in the root, crown in the deep,**
**something buried has woken from sleep.**
**Beat, beat, steady and slow,**
**follow the dark where the lost ones go.**
**No sky, no sun, no road home—**
**the stone has learned to beat.**
### [Verse 2]
Pale masks came through the tunnel,
fifty shadows in a line,
with lanterns bending sickly light
and spores falling behind.
*"The rot is returning..."*
*"The crown will wake again..."*
We held our breath and let them pass
like ghosts beneath the rain.
Then came the tomb of Bry-sis Kaym,
green bronze and painted stone,
and through our minds a woman's voice:
*"Please... I am alone."*
### [Verse 3]
We broke the sleep of ancient graves,
and curses filled the air.
Four dead shadows rose at once—
we burned them where they stood.
Beneath a grave, beneath a floor,
a hidden ladder fell.
Gold waited in the dark below—
and Bry-sis rose as well.
Steel and moonlight tore the shade,
bright smite split through the gloom,
then Vuh-rang raised the sacred flame
and silence filled the tomb.
### [Final Chorus]
**Beat, beat, under the stone,**
**something old remembers its bones.**
**Rot in the root, crown in the deep,**
**something buried has woken from sleep.**
**Beat, beat, steady and slow,**
**we killed the dead, but still we know:**
**No sky, no sun, no road home—**
**the stone has learned to beat.**
### [Outro — choir fading]
Across the canyon, voices sang,
soft lanterns on the road.
No masks.
No rot.
No whispered crown.
Just travellers below.
But underneath their distant song...
