He came with empty pockets and a heartbeat full of storms. No map, no name, no history, [music] just a soul that shifts its forms. The world turned slow to watch him as the mirror cracked awake.
For every step he stumbled was a prophecy at stake. Maggus whispered, "Child, remember you were born before the flame." But Psyche smiled like a secret god who hasn't learned his name.
Oh, the path doesn't wait for Psyche. The path is a living thing. [music] It coils around his shadow like a serpent wearing wings. He's the fool who leaps [music and singing] in silence. Yet the world begins to sing. For the
deck [singing] does not reveal him. He's the one who [music] reveals the deck dream. [music]
[music] Two queens called out to claim him. One of law and one of fire. One drew [music and singing] lines with holy geometry. One lit the sky with desire, but psyche [music] bowed to nether. Chose the road where none belong. [singing]
A trembling thread of twilight between rightness and the [music and singing] wrong. Empress crowned him with creation [music] tower broke him into flame. But still you walked like a [music] patient storm who has forgotten how to name. Oh the path doesn't wait for psyche.
[music] The path is a hungry thing. It mirrors all his choices. [music] Like a crow with mirrored wings. He's the fool who runs through absence. Yet [music] the ghosts begin to sing. For he's not learning [singing]
the tarot. The tarot is learning [music] him. Pillars rose in shining order. Templex tore the sky apart. Shadows whisper [music] truth like poison. Desire carved rooms in his heart. Eight [music] thrones stood in judgement.
Eight masks of God's unseen. [music] Yet every face that met him was a face he used to [music] be. Oh, he walks through them as they walk through him as the world remembers his name.
Down the stair of broken echoes through the mouth [music] of memories tomb he faced the undermin of the gloom. There he found the child he [music and singing] buried. And the storm he tried to tame. And the world he
thought was testing him was whispering his name. [music] Oh, the path was carved by psyche before psyche learned to walk. [music] The mirror only showed him what the silence tried to talk. He returns [singing] through worlds unbroken
[music] with the truth that splits the dark. He's the fool who [singing] lights creation with the spark behind the spark. And the world does [music and singing] not complete him. The world waits for him to begin. [music] For the journey never takes him. He's
the one who carries the journey within. Psyche [music] walks first. Psyche walks first. [music] Psyche walks first. So the [singing] others remember the way. Psyche
walks first. Psyche walks first. And the deck awakens every time his footsteps stray.
