[Opening Verse]

Move through the sleeping fields

Where the ancient gases wait

Cold and wide and formless

On the edge of weight

We gather what is drifting

We press what would divide

We fold the cloud together

Until the fire wakes inside

[Pre-Chorus]

We are the hand of pressure

We are the pulse of night

We are the force that closes

Until it opens into light

[Ignition Chant]

Compress the cloud

Collapse the sky

Strike the core

Ignite, ignite

[Chorus]

Many suns for many planets

Many suns for many moons

Much light for much darkness

Many dawns for endless rooms

Many suns from silent matter

Many stars from hidden flame

We bring life to the universe

And give the dark a name

[Spoken Verse 1]

On the planets of the many suns

The little bodies wake

Under light I pressed from silence

Under fire I made

Green things split the stone skin

Soft things learn to breathe

Oceans open blue mouths

And call it mystery

[Hidden Origin]

They do not know the pressure

They do not know the hand

They do not know the darkness

That taught the stars to stand

[Refrain 1]

Fragile life

Little flame

Blood and hunger

Bone and name

Fragile life

Brief and bright

Reaching upward

Into light

[Bridge Anthem]

Against the darkness we shall rise

With stellar fire in our eyes

Against the silence, against the deep

We sow the suns the worlds will keep

[Creation Sequence]

Gas becomes a river

River becomes a sphere

Sphere becomes a furnace

Furnace becomes clear

Light becomes a season

Season becomes rain

Rain becomes an ocean

Ocean speaks a name

Planets warm in orbit

Moons glow in the tide

Seeds dream under starlight

Life begins to climb

[Memory Turn]

I knew that shape

I wore that skin

I had a mouth

I lived within

The smallness

The blindness

The warmth

The need

The animal terror

The will to feed

[Former Body]

I was weak

I was flesh

I was meat

I was less

Until I was not

Until I was torn

From the soft little world

Where my body was born

[The Taking]

Without warning

Without consent

I lost the body

I lost the voice

[Transformation]

And became pressure

And became pull

And became the silence

When silence is full

[Spoken Verse 2]

Now life blossoms

Where my suns burn

Roots in the soil

Tides that turn

Eyes in the oceans

Wings in the air

Hands in the cities

Prayers in despair

[Their Questions]

They ask the sky

What made us here

They ask the night

Why death is near

They name their gods

They count their days

They build their fires

They look away

[Recognition]

But I was like them

Small in the blood

Blind in the stem

Weak in the muscle

Lost in the brain

Meat in the weather

Afraid of pain

[Human Memory]

I loved the warmth

I feared the dark

I thought the soul

Was just a spark

[Refrain 2]

Fragile life

Little flame

Blood and hunger

Bone and name

Fragile life

Brief and bright

Born from pressure

Held by light

[Lineage Litany]

They were born

Born from the suns

I birthed

The suns were born

Born from the clouds

I crushed

The clouds were born

Born from the dark

I crossed

And I was born

Born from the self

I lost

[Final Pre-Chorus]

We are not destruction

We are not the night

We are the great compression

That births the greater light

[Final Spoken Verse]

And there they bloom

Beneath my fire

Soft as breath

And full of desire

Ignorant

Beautiful

Temporary

True

Just as I was

Before I knew

Just as I was

Before the flame

[Final Refrain]

Fragile life

Little flame

I know your weakness

I know your name

Fragile life

Brief and bright

Rise in the shadow

Of impossible light

[Outro]

Ignite, ignite, ignite
