Children Of Animalia

folk, Epic folk-ambient ballad with intertwined male/female vocals; soft drone and wooden flutes over fingerpicked acoustic guitar, gradually joined by low strings, frame drum, and distant choirs, Verses stay intimate and story-driven; chorus swells into an anthemic, chant-like hook with layered harmonies and wordless vocal calls, Orchestral textures bloom in the bridge, then drop back to a haunting final refrain and solo flute tail, male vocals, ambient, emotional, female vocals, orchestral, guidance

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the iron came running
Torches and trembling ground
Ancestors called from the dark
“Rise when they cut you down”

[Chorus]
We are the children of Animalia
Heart to heart
We burn and we heal
Call out the names that were born inside us
Bone to bone
The wild is real
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
We won’t die quiet
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Hear our cry
We are the children of Animalia
Chased through the dark
We learn to fly

[Verse 2]
You run like silver through pines
Ears to the fear in the wind
Sister draws circles in air
Leaving a bright
Distant ring
I plant my feet in the earth
Feel every root twist and pull
Ghosts of our mothers and sons
March in the skin of a bull

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar is a doorway
Every tear lights a spark
Ancestors drum in our ribs
“Strike when they think you’re marked”

[Bridge]
[Flute and low strings swell under whispered chant]
(Howl) for the ones that fell
(Soar) for the ones who stayed
(Roar) for the broken bells
We carry every name
Every name
Hands in the soil
Eyes in the sky
Footsteps heavy
Spirits light
They stand in the spaces between us
Guiding our teeth
Guiding our flight

[Outro]
[Music drops to hush
Solo flute answers a soft vocal hum]
Once there was blood on the snow
Now there is fire in our veins
Follow the paw
Claw
Wing
We are the wild
That still remains

[Verse 1] Once there was blood on the snow Ash in the braids of the young We carved our names in the smoke Spoke with the beat of our lungs You had a wolf in your eyes Sister with feathers that gleam I kept a bear in my chest We were a campfire of dreams [Pre-Chorus] Then the iron came running Torches and trembling ground Ancestors called from the dark “Rise when they cut you down” [Chorus] We are the children of Animalia Heart to heart We burn and we heal Call out the names that were born inside us Bone to bone The wild is real Oh-oh Oh-oh We won’t die quiet Oh-oh Oh-oh Hear our cry We are the children of Animalia Chased through the dark We learn to fly [Verse 2] You run like silver through pines Ears to the fear in the wind Sister draws circles in air Leaving a bright Distant ring I plant my feet in the earth Feel every root twist and pull Ghosts of our mothers and sons March in the skin of a bull [Pre-Chorus] Every scar is a doorway Every tear lights a spark Ancestors drum in our ribs “Strike when they think you’re marked” [Chorus] We are the children of Animalia Heart to heart We burn and we heal Call out the names that were born inside us Bone to bone The wild is real Oh-oh Oh-oh We won’t die quiet Oh-oh Oh-oh Hear our cry We are the children of Animalia Chased through the dark We learn to fly [Bridge] [Flute and low strings swell under whispered chant] (Howl) for the ones that fell (Soar) for the ones who stayed (Roar) for the broken bells We carry every name Every name Hands in the soil Eyes in the sky Footsteps heavy Spirits light They stand in the spaces between us Guiding our teeth Guiding our flight [Chorus] We are the children of Animalia Heart to heart We burn and we heal Call out the names that were born inside us Bone to bone The wild is real Oh-oh Oh-oh We won’t die quiet Oh-oh Oh-oh Hear our cry We are the children of Animalia Last of the line We rise We rise [Outro] [Music drops to hush Solo flute answers a soft vocal hum] Once there was blood on the snow Now there is fire in our veins Follow the paw Claw Wing We are the wild That still remains
