THE SACRED RITUAL

(Intro) Ritual is a founding act A mark in time A step between what is seen And what moves unseen (Verse 1) Before the word, before the sign Before the crowd says “this is mine” An act is just a fading trace A thought that never took its place Give form to what you carry inside Let the moment testify What is done in open light Leaves a shadow in all time (Pre-Chorus) No smoke, no myth, no superstition Just form, intent, and repetition (Chorus) RitualMakes it real What you show Is what will seal Ritual Time will tell What is spoken What is held (Verse 2) An oath is spoken, breath to air A name is written, now it’s there A hand appears, a mark is made And truth is shaped the way it’s played What’s done in form stands as fact Till the world pulls it apart What you don’t claim, you leave behind Natural, free, but undefined (Pre-Chorus) What is formed is held as true Till another act breaks through (Chorus) Ritual Makes it real What you show Is what will seal Ritual Bound in time What is yours Becomes the sign (Bridge) Water cleanses The name binds The word seals Across time (Verse 3) They called it sacred, dressed in light But never spoke the other side The name was given, witnesses near Yet no one named what entered here Public act, concealed effect Spirit shown, law indirect What you saw was poetry What it did was registry (Chorus) Ritual Not by force But consent Off its course Ritual Seen and known What was bound Must be unbound (Outro) Linked by form Released by form
