The Copper Age (Chapter 2)

[Verse 1] The hammer falls upon the cool red vein Earth gives up what it can’t contain I shape it soft, it bends to my will First cut deeper than the flint or stone kill Metallic breath on the morning air Tastes like blood, like life’s own prayer In these hands, the future, presence a beam A warmer edge now, like every man's dream [Chorus] Copper Age, I’m learning how to bend Turning rough days into something I can mend New fire in my veins, new flame in the night I reach for you, and the current feels right Conducting warmth where the cold used to live I’m discovering now what it means to give Copper heart, malleable and true Forging me, forging me, forging me and you [Verse 2] Tools that cut cleaner, mile after auburn mile Jewels that shine like a lover’s bright smile I trade the heavy stone for something more slight Carry it home through the dim fading light She stands by the fire, eyes catching the glow We speak in glances, the rest we both know From hunter alone to maker of bonds In this soft new metal, a new world responds [Chorus] Copper Age, I’m learning how to bend Turning rough days into something I can mend New fire in my veins, new flame in the night I reach for you, and the current feels right Conducting warmth where the cold used to live I’m discovering now what it means to give Copper heart, malleable and true Forging me, forging me, forging me and you [Bridge] It oxidizes green when left out too long But right now, it sings a beautiful song Heavy constraints are starting to break A new skill, a new touch, the world begins to wake What will we build when the dawn arrives? Stronger together, under widening skies… [Outro] Copper… flowing… Through these veins, through these days… I still survive… I become… One hammer fall at a time… (Conducting you… conducting me…) (The current flows...)
