[Verse 1] Red dust under my fingernails A map no clock can hold The stone remembers every flame In stories never told [Pre-Chorus] You turn the glass and I can see The far side answering me [Chorus] We lit the sky with a fire that stayed A living mark in the rust-red clay No yesterday, no coming dawn The circle turns and carries on We lit the sky, let the whole world know The buried heart still has a pulse below Through every mirror, through every sign Your ancient ember answers mine [Verse 2] A silver thread across the dark Draws north to southern ground The mineral hum becomes a voice That travels without sound [Pre-Chorus] You raise your hands above the line And every scattered point aligns [Chorus] We lit the sky with a fire that stayed A living mark in the rust-red clay No yesterday, no coming dawn The circle turns and carries on We lit the sky, let the whole world know The buried heart still has a pulse below Through every mirror, through every sign Your ancient ember answers mine [Bridge] Speak the command Open the field Name what is hidden And make it real Red earth, bright heart Hold through the night Past becomes present The flame becomes light [Breakdown] No door, no distance No hand outside The stone keeps turning The worlds coincide [Final Chorus] We lit the sky with a fire that stayed A living mark in the rust-red clay No yesterday, no coming dawn The circle turns and carries on We lit the sky, now the horizon knows The buried heart has begun to show Through every mirror, through every sign Your ancient ember answers mine [Outro] The glass is open The fire is alive The red earth remembers And we arrive
