[Intro]
Behind the wall
Behind the stone
A choir breathed
My name alone

[Verse 1]
I followed sound through broken pews
Past dust and fallen lace
The organ pipes were black with rain
But something sang in place
No open mouth, no living lungs
No shadow I could see
Only a thread of silver tone
Unwinding after me

[Verse 2]
It moved behind the plaster saints
It passed beneath the floor
It slipped between the candle flames
And gathered at each door
At times it wore your tender pitch
At times an older cry
As if the church had borrowed you
To teach the stone to sigh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted it to be you
I feared it might be true
That memory can learn to sing
In voices we once knew

[Chorus]
The choir behind the wall
Is calling through the rain
Not to bring the dead one back
But to make me speak her name
The choir behind the wall
Knows every word I hide
It does not haunt the empty church
It haunts what lives inside

[Verse 3]
I pressed my ear against the stone
The mortar froze my skin
I heard a thousand last goodbyes
That no one folded in
A sailor’s vow, a mother’s plea
A lover’s broken psalm
And under all their trembling notes
Your unfinished calm

[Pre-Chorus]
I whispered that I missed you
The wall gave nothing more
Until I named the hour
I would not answer for

[Chorus]
The choir behind the wall
Is calling through the rain
Not to bring the dead one back
But to make me speak her name
The choir behind the wall
Knows every word I hide
It does not haunt the empty church
It haunts what lives inside

[Whispered]
I heard you
I left you
I loved you
Too late

[Choir Break]
Say it clean
Say it whole
Open the wound
And spare the soul

[Bridge]
Then all the hidden singers stopped
The silence struck like glass
And in that pause I understood
No ghost had blocked my path
The voice was not a verdict
The voice was not a chain
It was the shape of truth itself
Learning how to sing through pain

[Build-up]
Stone by stone
Breath by breath
Name the love
Name the death

[Final Chorus]
The choir behind the wall
Is calling through the rain
Not to bring the dead one back
But to make me speak her name
The choir behind the wall
Knows every word I hide
It does not haunt the empty church
It haunts what lives inside
The choir behind the wall
Will not let silence stay
Until the truth I buried there
Can rise and find its way

[Outro]
Behind the wall
Behind the stone
The choir faded
But I was not alone
