(Intro)
(A low synth pulse mimicking a heartbeat: Thump-thump, Thump-thump)
(Verse 1)
October night, the moon is obscured
The sickness can no longer be cured
Staring into the pitch-black void
Every certainty has been destroyed
Rodrigo stands upon the height
Straining eyes against the night
(Pre-Chorus)
Wait...
Did it flicker?
Did it move?
Or is it just the mind's groove?
(Chorus)
A light! A light! A tiny spark!
Burning a hole inside the dark!
Not a star, for it rises and falls
Like a candle in shifting halls
Is it a spirit? Is it a fire?
The fulfillment of the desire!
(Verse 2)
It bobs and weaves, a waxen ghost
Greeting the starving, desperate host
It means there is a hand that holds
A torch within these manifold folds
The impossible is breathing there
I smell the earth inside the air!
(Chorus)
A light! A light! A tiny spark!
Burning a hole inside the dark!
Not a star, for it rises and falls
Like a candle in shifting halls
Is it a spirit? Is it a fire?
The fulfillment of the desire!
(Bridge)
(Synthesizers go wild, accelerating tempo)
Wake the Captain! Wake the crew!
The old world crashes into the new!
A simple flame, a human sign
Crossing out the dividing line!
TIERRA! TIERRA!
(Guitar Solo)
(Soaring, triumphant electric guitar melody)
(Chorus)
A light! A light! A tiny spark!
Burning a hole inside the dark!
Not a star, for it rises and falls
Like a candle in shifting halls
Is it a spirit? Is it a fire?
The fulfillment of the desire!
(Outro)
The fire...
The land...
It's real...
(Explosion of sound, then sudden silence)
