About this song
Nissa Revane returns from Zendikar to fight beside Chandra on Ravnica — and animates Vitu-Ghazi to topple Nicol Bolas. A folk-orchestral promise from the animist who hears the worldsoul: if the earth must shake, it shakes to hold the one she came back for.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] You weren't there when I left Amonkhet alone I heard the sand sing names I couldn't carry home You burn so bright you don't know what the dark can take But I do — I felt the silence in the leylines break [Pre-Chorus] So when the dragon spread his wings across the sky I came back through every root, through every leaf and line [Chorus 1] If I shake the world, it is so the world will hold you If the forest rises, it rises beneath your feet You will never fall on Ravnica Not while I can hear it breathe I will shake the world So the world can keep you [Verse 2] Vitu-Ghazi woke when I asked the tree to stand A city walking forward is a god in a kind hand The statue cracked, and the dragon turned to stone You looked at me through the smoke — and I was not alone [Pre-Chorus] Every guild, every glyph, every leyline I tied Was a thread between the worldsoul and your living side [Chorus 2] If I shake the world, it is so the world will hold you If the forest rises, it rises beneath your feet You will never fall on Ravnica Not while I can hear it breathe I will shake the world So the world can keep you [Bridge] I don't speak the way you speak — I never learned the words The wind says them through me, the river hums them first But if I am ever lost, if a stranger wears my face Find me in the green that still remembers your name [Final Chorus] So I shake the world, and the world reaches for you The forest rises, and no blade breaks through You will never fall while a single seed survives You will never fall while I hear the worldsoul rise I will shake the world I will shake the world So the world can keep you [Outro] And even when I'm gone — green will remember your name
