[Intro – Male Voice] They told us it was copper and sweat Twenty years to carve eternity But they lied The truth was buried under miles of sand And in the shadows of the Sphinx… it waits [Build – Female Voice, ethereal] I’ve seen the maps they said don’t exist Lines in the desert that speak to the stars Declassified scans of chambers unentered Blueprints that predate the flood [Verse 1 – Male/Female Vocals] Underneath the limestone skin A language carved in light and sin Markers of a hand we’ve never known Stone aligned to the pulse of Orion’s throne Copper tools could never bite this deep Even time itself forgot to keep Who placed these blocks beyond our reach And taught the Earth what gods can teach? [Chorus – Dual Vocals, powerful] Before the Pharaohs, before the Nile They walked the Earth for a fleeting while Pyramids rise like frozen fire From an age of builders we can’t inspire If this is truth, then all we’re shown Is just the skin, not the bone [Verse 2 – Female/Male Vocals] I read the scrolls they burned from view The witnesses they silenced too They mapped the stars in perfect arc A cosmic mirror in desert dark Atlantis whispers through the grain A memory etched in quartz and rain We think we’re first, we think we reign But their shadow walks our veins [Bridge – Spoken Male Voice] The stones are older than our memory Older than our myths And the gods we worship Were men… like us Or something far greater [Instrumental Break – tribal percussion, distorted synth brass, chanting in ancient Egyptian phonetics] [Verse 3 – Male/Female Vocals, haunting and airy] Not our hands, not our minds Blueprints from another time They watched the oceans split in flame And left this world without a name We found the ruins, claimed them ours And crowned ourselves beneath their stars [Chorus – Full choir + lead vocals] Before the Pharaohs, before the Nile They walked the Earth for a fleeting while Pyramids rise like frozen fire From an age of builders we can’t inspire If this is truth, then all we’re shown Is just the skin, not the bone [Outro – Male Voice, fading into wind] We’re not the first We won’t be the last And the sand remembers everything
