[Verse 1]

I fall through broken glass,
the ground gives way again.
Hands are torn, names erased,
still a fire hides within.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
as long as breath is mine,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Verse 2]

For those whose hands went silent,
for children yet to be,
nothing here was wasted –
every break feeds memory.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
as long as breath is mine,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Bridge]

Torn apart, yet never empty,
scattered light still calls my name.
Every fracture is a window,
every silence holds a flame.

[Verse 3]

I carry them for fathers, for mothers,
for the ones who never came.
I carry them for son or daughter,
and for the echoes of my name.

[Chorus]

No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
for past and future both,
I’ll carry the sparks through.
The thin link is you –
the thin link is you –
as long as I breathe,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

[Verse 4]

The world may build its distance,
may try to draw a line,
but nothing can erase you,
your love is still in mine.
I planned to always hold you,
and I always will remain.
No silence and no distance
can ever change your name.

[Chorus]
No matter how I fall,
no matter what I lose,
for past and future both,
I’ll carry the sparks through.
The thin link is you –
the thin link is you –
as long as I breathe,
I’ll carry the sparks through.

Carry the Sparks [The Way Home]

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
