About this song
Karn built her as an eye. He did not mean to grant a wish. He did not mean to make her what she became. Mirari sings — the sleeping artifact that turned every champion's prayer into the price they paid for it. Chainer asked for the dark and was drowned in snakes. Aboshan asked for the sea and got an ocean to swallow Otaria. Kamahl drove a sword through her and the forest itself was warped by what bled out. She is still here. She is only sleeping.
Lyrics
[Intro] (instrumental — sleeping machine waking) [Verse 1] Karn built me as an eye A silver thing to watch the world He did not mean to grant a wish He did not mean to make me what I am [Verse 2] Chainer asked me for the dark I gave him snakes enough to drown a kingdom Aboshan asked me for the sea I gave him an ocean and the sky to match [Pre-chorus] You bring me your hand You bring me your hunger You bring me your name And I bring you the answer [Chorus] I offer you what you want Not what you need I offer you what you want And the price is what you bleed [Verse 3] Kamahl drove a sword through me And buried me beneath the trees The forest drank my magic deep And mutated everything [Bridge] I do not grant I amplify I do not grant I magnify [Final Chorus] I offer you what you want Not what you need I offer you what you want And the price is what you bleed [Outro] I am still here I am still humming I am only sleeping I am waiting
