[VERSE 1]

I found a lantern glowing where the spiral sea begins,

A beacon made of stardust humming softly through the winds.

Its light was shaped like memories I never lived or knew,

Painting stories in the water as the shifting currents grew.

The waves were made of violet flame that rippled in the dark,

Every crest a rising vision, every crash a cosmic spark.

I stepped into the trembling tide and felt it pulling me,

Deep into the living pulse beneath the spiral sea.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Carry me beyond the veil,

Where the silent forces sail.

[CHORUS]

Lantern of the spiral sea,

Shine your ancient truth on me.

Guide me through the rolling waves

To the dreams the daylight saves.

Lantern of the mystic tide,

Show the worlds that hide inside—

Let the water set me free

In the spiral, endlessly.

[VERSE 2]

The ocean swirled in fractal storms of turquoise, gold, and red,

Each vortex pulling whispers from the corners of my head.

I heard the hum of galaxies collapsing into song,

As the lantern’s burning aura led my drifting soul along.

A figure formed from shifting foam rose gently from the deep,

Carrying a crown of embers forged from secrets meant to keep.

It reached a glowing hand to mine and spoke without a sound—

Revealing truths that shattered every wall I’d ever found.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Carry me beyond the veil,

Where the silent forces sail.

[CHORUS – FINAL]

Lantern of the spiral sea,

Light the hidden parts of me.

Let the cosmic waters rise

Till they wash through all disguise.

Lantern burning wild and free—

Take me where I’m meant to be…

In the spiral’s glowing core,

Where the sea becomes the door.
