MO°FA,

Lyrics

---
The wind remembers…
---

[Verse 1 – Male Lead]
I sang of things I couldn’t keep,
Of vows too wide, of nights too deep,
Of roads that take more than they give,
Of ways we learn how not to live.
My voice was calm, my hands were bare,
I didn’t know the cost was there,
I thought the song would set me free,
I didn’t know it wanted me.
---

[Verse 2 – Female Lead]
I sang of love that doesn’t stay,
Of names the dawn will take away,
Of fire warm and ashes cold,
Of truths that shouldn’t all be told.
The notes were clean, the tone was right,
But something moved inside the night,
The song leaned close, it heard my breath,
And smiled like something more than death.
---

[Chorus – Male & Female Unison + Choir]
We were Tangrini, bound to wind,
We chose the truth and left our skin,
The wind took names we dared to say,
And kept our souls in drifting grey.

[Choir – sustained]
(Hmm… drifting grey…)
---

[Verse 3 – Male Lead]
We cut away the fragile parts,
Silenced fear, denied the heart,
We trusted thought, we named the air,
Believed the wind would always care.
But what we held with perfect sight,
Turned warm to cold, turned day to night,
What starts as sound, when sung too true,
Will take the singer with it too.
---

[Verse 4 – Female Lead]
We spoke the name to still the storm,
To freeze the ache in perfect form,
The wind obeyed, the world stood still,
But silence fed a deeper chill.
I felt it go, not sharp, not loud,
Like losing shape inside a cloud,
Not blood, not breath, not skin, not flame,
But something whole before the name.
---

[Chorus – Fuller / Deeper – All Voices]
We were Tangrini, bound to wind,
We chose the truth and left our skin,
The wind took names we dared to say,
And kept our souls in drifting grey.

[Verse 5 – Male & Female Call and Response]
(Male)
Now others ask what we became,
If we still hear the wind by name,
(Female)
They ask if knowing eased the pain,
If clarity was worth the gain.
(Male)
I tell them this, and nothing more,
The song is here, just like before,
(Female)
But when we sing, we feel the seam,
Between the truth… and what we mean.
---

[Verse 6 – Female Lead]
So

listen well and listen slow,
Not every song is safe to know,
Some melodies don’t want control,
They ask for more than mind or soul.
If you must sing, then sing aware,
The wind is fair, but never bare,
What you give it when you begin,
Is what you lose… when you look within.
---

[Final Chorus – Half-Time / Ritual – All Voices]
We were Tangrini, bound to wind,
We named the truth and lost our skin,
The wind remembers what we pay,
And keeps the rest… along the way.
We spoke the wind…
And the wind stayed…
But something else…
Went with it…
