Blackwater Oath

[Verse 1] Black water carries sparks beneath the bridge. A small rhythm gathers where the long day ends. I keep my hands steady and listen for the change. [Pre-Chorus] I keep the oath even when the current turns. We make no promise louder than we can keep. [Chorus] Blackwater Oath, stay with me through the turning. Blackwater Oath, say the thing the dark could not erase. Let the final line arrive in its own time. We will know the way by how the last word lands. [Verse 2] The hour moves forward, leaving room around the truth. I meet it without hurry, without dressing it in gold. What was only distance becomes a road beneath us. What was only silence finds a voice and finds a home. [Bridge] No borrowed thunder, no convenient ending. Only breath, only ground, only one clear name. [Final Chorus] Blackwater Oath, stay with me through the turning. Let the final line arrive in its own time. We will know the way by how the last word lands.
