[Opening Scene]

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 lifе

Brief and bright

Reaching upward

Into light

[Memory of Flesh]

I knew that shapе

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 was lifted

I was spent

Without mercy

Without a choice

I lost the body

I lost the voice

[Transformation]

And became pressure

And became pull

And became the silence

When silence is full

I became the folding

I became the flame

I became the reason

Light remembers its name

[Life Under the Suns]

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]

They do not know

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

[Remembering the Human]

I loved the warmth

I feared the dark

I thought the soul

Was just a spark

Then I was taken

Then I was changed

Then all existence

Opened its veins

[Cosmic Function]

Now I shape essence

Now I bend law

Now I press being

Until it draws

Matter from absence

Light from the deep

Worlds from the pressure

Life from sleep

[No Throne]

I do not bless them

I do not rule

I only remember

Being small and cruel

I only remember

The breathing cage

The flesh made holy

By hunger and age

[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

From the suns

I birthed

The suns were born

From the clouds

I crushed

The clouds were born

From the dark

I crossed

And I was born

From the self

I lost

[Second Taking]

Without warning

Without consent

I was broken

I was bent

Without mercy

Without end

I became the force

That makes worlds begin

[Blooming]

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

[Before the Change]

Just as I was

Before the flame

Just as I was

Before the change

[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
