[Fire Crackling Intro: wood fire, distant tribal flute, ambient cave reverb] [Verse 1] By the flickering firelight Ancient hands on cavern walls Drawing bison in the night Answering creativity's calls [Contemplative Pre-Chorus] First artist with a dream to share First story that would never die Making magic from the air Teaching stone and earth to cry [Emotional Chorus] Cave paintings on my soul Stories older than the sun Every mark makes me more whole Every line shows what we've done We are artists, we are seers We paint love across the years Cave paintings, cave paintings Through laughter and through tears [Verse 2] Hand prints pressed in ochre red "I was here, I lived, I loved" Messages from long-time dead Still by our hearts are moved [Chorus] Cave paintings on my soul Stories older than the sun Every mark makes me more whole Every line shows what we've done We are artists, we are seers We paint love across the years Cave paintings, cave paintings Through laughter and through tears [Artistic Bridge: haunting flute solo, echoing vocals, reverb chant loop] [Final Chorus] Cave paintings on my soul Ancient light that makes us whole We are timeless, we are flame Painting stories in love’s name [Echoing Outro: slow fading hand drum, crackling fire, fading flute]
