7 Names for the Creator

Verse 1

Long before the rivers learned their names

Before the mountains wore the morning light

There was a voice that called through rain and flame

Carrying the world from darkness into sight

Verse 2

Seven names they carved in sacred stone

Seven titles for the one who made it all

Every tongue that ever stood alone

Answered when the heavens chose to call

Pre-Chorus

I can't say the words the way they're meant to sound

But the meaning settles deep below the ground

Chorus

Seven names for the maker of the dawn

Seven names and every one is true

When the fire of the old ones lingers on

I hold them in my heart the way I know to

Post-Chorus

Seven names

Seven names

Seven names burning through

Verse 3

Scattered pages kept the story whole

Written down by weathered patient hands

Every letter carried weight and soul

Passed across the borders of the lands

Verse 4

I don't speak the words but still I feel

The weight of what I cannot name aloud

The keeper's long devotion turning steel

Into something sacred and unbowed

Pre-Chorus

I can't say the words the way they're meant to sound

But the meaning settles deep below the ground

Chorus

Seven names for the maker of the dawn

Seven names and every one is true

When the fire of the old ones lingers on

I hold them in my heart the way I know to

Post-Chorus

Seven names

Seven names

Seven names burning through

Bridge

Wado for the path that brought me here

Wado for the truths I still can hold

Maybe someday I will learn to speak them clear

Until then I carry what I'm told
