[Intro]

[Verse]
0:07
Have you noticedā€¦ the signs?
0:07
Did you seeā€¦ the light?
0:11
Did you smellā€¦ the fire?
0:12
Did you hearā€¦ the night?
0:15
Have you feltā€¦ the desire?(whisper) Avalonā€¦ Avalonā€¦
0:17
[Verse 1 - intimate, close mic]
0:22
I read omens in the waterline, I watch the tide confess,
0:22
A compass made of rose-thorns, pointing through my chest.
0:27
You call it just a story, but I swear it knows your name,
0:30
Itā€™s threaded through the darkness like a candle through the rain.
0:35
[Pre-Chorus - lift, more air]
0:40
From an island far, far awayā€¦
0:40
they only say it soft, like a secret they canā€™t tameā€¦
0:41
Avalonā€¦
0:46
where the lights donā€™t learn to die,
0:48
where the fires keep their vows,
0:50
and the nightā€¦ it speaks in syllables of silver through the boughs.
0:52
Avalonā€¦
0:57
land of the fey, and the fever in your veins,
0:58
Tell meā€¦ do you feel the desire again?
1:03
[Chorus - intimate but catchy, layered harmonies]
1:06
Avalon, Avalon, call me from the foam,
1:06
A name like a blade and a lullaby home.
1:10
Avalon, Avalon, I follow the glow,
1:15
Through the black of the sea where the bright things go.
1:19
And I know, I know, the price is in the air,
1:23
But my heart keeps walking like itā€™s already there.
1:27
Avalonā€¦
1:31
Do you feel the desire?
1:31
[Verse 2 - slightly more drive]
1:34
You can trace the roseā€™s line, itā€™s a ribbon in the storm,
1:34
Bring your ship up to the shoreline, where the twilight stays warm.
1:38
But every gate is a mirror, every miracle a loan,
1:43
You donā€™t get what youā€™re dreamingā€¦ you get back what you own.
1:47
[Drop - near-silence]
1:53
Glory.
1:57
[Pre-Chorus 2 - tension]
2:01
Avalonā€¦
2:01
a whisper in the mast and wire,
2:02
a choir in the pine,
2:04
If you step too close, youā€™ll feel the world unthread in time.
2:05
Avalonā€¦
2:09
land of the fey, where the promises are sharp,
2:09
Tell meā€¦ do you feel the desire in the dark?
2:09
[Chorus 2 - same hook, slightly bigger]
2:10
Avalon, Avalon, call me from the foam,
2:10
A name like a blade and a lullaby home.
2:14
Avalon, Avalon, I follow the glow,
2:18
Through the black of the sea where the bright things go.
2:22
And I know, I know, the price is in the air,
2:27
But my heart keeps walking like itā€™s already there.
2:30
Avalonā€¦
2:34
Do you feel the desire?
2:35
[Break - faster 110 bpm, urgent drums, minimal reverb]
2:38
And never forget, never forget, never forget what you take,
2:38
If you lift up the goblet, you wake what wonā€™t wait.
2:42
The fey will hunt you through the heather, through the hail,
2:47
No kingdom can shield you, no crown can prevail.
2:51
Hear their laughter in the river, see their eyes in the flame,
2:55
When you run, when you plead, youā€™ll remember the nameā€¦
3:00
[Bridge - wide, melancholic]
3:04
I wanted a shore that would never betray,
3:04
A place where the lost donā€™t keep losing their way.
3:08
But every bright legend has shadows it feeds,
3:13
And Iā€™m learning the difference between wants and needs.
3:17
[Bridge - build]
3:22
Stillā€¦ if the night is a mouth full of fear,
3:22
Iā€™ll answer with breath, and Iā€™ll steer.
3:24
[Final Chorus - return 88 bpm, brighter]
3:27
Avalon, Avalon, open up the foam,
3:27
Let the waves be a road and the dark be a dome.
3:31
Avalon, Avalon, I wonā€™t turn to stone,
3:36
Iā€™ll carry the fire back into my bones.
3:40
And I know, I know, the price is in the air,
3:44
But the heart that was hunted is still standing there.
3:48
Avalonā€¦
3:54
I feel the desire.(whisper) Avalonā€¦ Avalonā€¦
3:55
Lights never dieā€¦
3:58
Fires foreverā€¦
4:00
And we riseā€¦ we riseā€¦ we riseā€¦
