Lyrics:

Step by step, I walk the line,
Between the fire, between the tide.
A careful hand, a steady flow,
Finding balance as I go.

In the stillness, I embrace,
The dance of light, the dance of grace.

I am Temperance, the calm, the guide,
Blending the dark and the light inside.
No need to rush, no need to chase,
In the flow, I find my place.

A river moves but fights no war,
It bends and sways, yet finds the shore.
Through patience, through the quiet air,
I learn to give, I learn to share.

In the stillness, I embrace,
The dance of light, the dance of grace.

I am Temperance, the calm, the guide,
Blending the dark and the light inside.
No need to rush, no need to chase,
In the flow, I find my place.

Day and night, the endless wheel,
Opposites merge, and wounds can heal.
The fire cools, the water warms,
A soul at peace, a heart transformed.

I am Temperance, the calm, the guide,
Blending the dark and the light inside.
No need to rush, no need to chase,
In the flow, I find my place.

Step by step, I walk the line,
Between the fire, between the tide.
A careful hand, a steady flow,
Finding balance as I go.

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
