23. Ehho — Seeds of the Earth

[Intro | A dry, bright breeze blowing in from the earth. An opening that makes your heart leap in anticipation of the coming spring.] [Chant - call and response, folk] エッホ　エッホ イモを植えよう エッホ　エッホ イモを植えよう [Verse - gentle, folk] 生命（いのち）の芽吹き　春の訪れ ほどよい日差しに　風薫る 長き冬越え　いま動き出す [Chorus - world fusion, African rhythm building] エッホ　エッホ　Plant the seed イモを植えよう　Feel the earth breathe エッホ　エッホ　Life begins here 未来を植えよう　Under open skies [Verse 2 - folk, quiet] 生命の営み　めぐり来て 冬の眠りは　目覚めにうつる 灰を置いたか　畝作るとき [Chorus 2 - world fusion, fuller] エッホ　エッホ　Plant the seed イモを植えよう　Feel the earth breathe エッホ　エッホ　Life begins here 大地に植えよう　Under open skies [Interlude | Djembe and electric guitar collide — bass rumbles beneath as rhythms locked in fierce dialogue.] [Bridge - raw, rock-driven] 芽吹きを切って　灰つけろ 土の布団に　命を託す Cut and ash and lay it down The earth will hold what we have sown [Final Chorus - electric guitar and African drums unite, full power] エッホ　エッホ　Plant the seed イモを植えよう　Feel the earth breathe エッホ　エッホ　Life is calling 大地に刻め　Until harvest comes [Outro | The rhythm fades slowly into wind and birdsong. The earth rests, full of promise.]
