The earth’s memory (ancient call)

[Intro: Heavy rhythmic frame drums, tribal shaker, aggressive wooden flute] [Verse 1] When the red river inside your veins Flows back to the salt and the deep (Ama gaduha! Ama gaduha!) When the silent white of your tired bones Finds the earth for a final sleep (Kola elohi! Kola elohi!) [Tribal Chant: Rhythmic and loud] He-ya! He-ya! Ho-way-ya-ho! He-ya! He-ya! Ho-way-ya-ho! [Chorus: Deep and powerful] Ayeli Elohi igatseli nigesvna! (THIS LAND IS NOT OURS!) Aseno ayv Elohi igatseli! (WE BELONG TO THE EARTH!) [Chant] Hey-ya-ho! Hey-ya-ho! [Main Theme] You are the breath! (Gv-v-s-di!) You are the dust! (Gado-hi!) Inside her heart of gold! You belong to the mountain’s call You belong to the endless sea The earth is not a part of you But you are her memory! [Instrumental Break: EXPLOSIVE tribal drums, pounding percussion, soaring flute, intense group chanting] [Bridge: Shamanic ritual chant] (Stomp) Return to the water! (Ama!) (Stomp) Return to the clay! (Gado-hi!) The cycle is turning! The debt is to pay! Noh-gwisi! Sunale! HE-YA-HO! [Verse 2: Low and intense] The eagle circles the empty sky (Tsu-tla-lo-lo, Galun-lati) The pride of man is a falling leaf Washed away by the summer rains. [Outro: Slowing drums, ethereal chanting] When the blood returns to the sea... Ayeli Elohi... When the bones return to the stone... Aseno ayv... Gado-hi igatseli. [Group Whisper] You belong to her. [End: One final heavy drum strike]
