The Final Hour

English lyrics

[Intro] Mina, hold the last hour Mina, breathe beneath the bells [Verse 1] The clocks lean toward the doorway Their hands refuse to turn You hold the room together While every red sign burns [Pre-Chorus] No witness owns your ending No chain can name your soul You gather every fracture And make the broken whole [Chorus] This is the final hour And still I rise, still I rise This is the final hour I meet the end with open eyes Mina, hear me calling Nothing can command your fire This is the final hour I become the final choir [Male Operatic Countervoice] Mina, ascend through the closing gate Your heart is larger than fate [Ritual Vowel Chant] Ah—oh—uh, ah—oh—uh Uh—ah, oh—uh, ah Ooo—ah—uh, ooo—ah—uh [Verse 2] The floor gives way beneath you The ceiling fills with flame You do not ask forgiveness You do not bow your name A cold hand counts the seconds A warm hand breaks the seal You turn toward what is ending And teach the wound to heal [Pre-Chorus] No silence can erase you No darkness makes you small You are the spark remaining After the temples fall [Chorus] This is the final hour And still I rise, still I rise This is the final hour I meet the end with open eyes Mina, hear me calling Nothing can command your fire This is the final hour I become the final choir [Bridge] Quiet now—let the red room fade Quiet now—let the debt be paid In the space between one breath and two The world breaks open because of you [Male Operatic Countervoice] Mina, the gate is closing Mina, the blood-red sky is opening [Ritual Vowel Chant] Oh—oh—ah, uh—ah—oh Ah—uh, ah—uh, ooo [Final Chorus] This is the final hour And still I rise, still I rise This is the final hour I meet the end with open eyes Mina, hear me calling No one can extinguish fire This is the final hour I become the final choir [Outro] Mina, when the last bell falters Stand where the broken worlds divide Mina, when the final hour opens Walk through it alive
