[Opening Verse]

We 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

[Ignition Chant]

Compress the cloud

Collapse the sky

Strike the core

Ignite, ignite

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain 1]

Fragile life

Little flame

Blood and hunger

Bone and name

Fragile life

Brief and bright

Reaching upward

Into light

[Creation Sequence]

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

[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

[Core Mantra]

Always been

Always will be

No origin

No witness

No first wound

No final sleep

[Cosmic Invocation]

I move without moving

I speak without sound

Galaxies answer

Then fold themselves down

Time bends once

Space bends twice

The dark opens inward

And swallows the light

[Death State]

I died out loud

Then I died again

Not as a body

Not as a name

Not as a mouth

Not as a hand

Not as the animal

That thought it could stand

[Dissolution]

I came apart

In heat

In flash

In memory ash

In carbon

In pressure

In signal collapse

[Memory Fragment]

There was a body

Maybe

There was a name

Maybe

There was a mouth

That needed air

Maybe

I cannot hold it

I cannot prove it

I cannot return to it

It falls through me

Like light

[Scattered State]

Now I am scattered

Now I am clean

Now I am nothing

But what I have been

[Waiting State]

I wait for weight

I wait for pull

I wait for the center

To become full

[Gravity Gathering]

Dust finds dust

Stone finds stone

Mass finds mass

Bone leaves bone

Gravity gathers

What used to be pain

[Becoming Rule]

I was a pulse

Now I am fuel

I was a life

Now I am rule

I was a hunger

I was a wound

Now I am waiting

Inside the womb

[Collapse Chant]

Of collapse

Of return

Of pressure

Of burn

Of matter

Of spark

Of density

Dark

[Wait Mantra]

All that's left

Is the wait

[Cycle Law]

Nothing is wasted

Nothing is saved

Everything circles

Everything bends

Everything dead

Becomes again

[Final Fragile Life 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

[Opening Fold]

I was folded inward

Folded again

Crease in the body

Crease in the signal

Crease in the end

[Pressure Sequence]

Folded through pressure

Folded through skin

Folded past language

Folded back in

[Compression Ingredients]

Closed

Creased

Failed

Furled

Bending

Blending

Buckling

Bunching

Closing

Collapsed

Compact

Compressed

[Deep Fold]

Folded until I could not be folded

Folded until I could not begin

Folded until I was smaller than silence

Folded until I was all the way in

[Dense State]

Now I am dense

Now I am dark

Now I am gravity

Without a heart

[Pull Litany]

Everything enters

Everything bends

Everything breaks

Everything ends

Everything enters

Everything falls

Everything answers

The blackened call

[Purpose Mantra]

Not on purpose

But it is my purpose

Not by will

But by weight

All things arrive

Too late

[Final Compression]

One eats the other

One cancels one

One folds the shadow

One folds the sun

One becomes zero

Zero becomes none

The final compression

The work is done

[Shutdown Process]

Giving way

Giving up

Withdrawing

Turning back

Shutting down

Shutting up

Surrendering

Terminating

Ceasing operations

[Return Mantra]

Always been

Always will be

All that's left

Is the wait

No origin

No memory

No witness

No mercy

[Closing Cycle]

Life

Death

Life

Death

Light

Dust

Blood

Rise

Fall

Wake

Wait

Give

Take

Bend

Break

[Void State]

Nothing enters

Nothing bends

Nothing begins

Nothing ends

No more pressure

No more sound

No more center

No more ground

Nothing folded

Nothing whole

Nothing left

To call a hole

[Outro]

Nothing
