[Intro]

[DEW-MATRON]
So good, two-finds, your-selves,
so quick, thinks best, if one, to other...sticks.
Trust made, must take, new-kin, own-sake.
Haste make, hive-friends; Kha's-whinds, quick change.
Down now, be-fore, Lork-huff, heaves strange.

[ASHIMASI]
We'll follow! Your path, down right?
Says well? Still new, try will.
Moss-eee, osh-eee, says yee?

[MASIASHI]
Seems our arc, keeps on down its course then.
Still suits to dive depths, sooner or later,
Our moment of rest,
lead on, and I'll follow,
sight what way's best.

[Interlude]

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Moth-mamm, soft-pelt—“puff-beet.”
Wing-shrew, dusk-fur—“mute-fleet.”
Nose-bat, glow-gnat—“sweep-sweet.”
(clicks)

[Verse 1]

[ASHIMASI]
Glowing hollow opens up here what a sight to see; each down shelf a step, seems not too steep.

[MASIASHI]
Steam spew fissures, fungal tassels… caution the air shift before each drop.

[DEW-MATRON]
Pause once air here light shuns.
Take these—mush-make lamp-likes.
Mind hush tween stone seep speaks.
Flame keep, not light, un less...end seeks.

[MASIASHI]
Ohm'nus, seems that, Dew-speak,
Path knows, truth keeps?
What lies ahead exactly?
Best you simply tell us, no?

[ASHIMASI]
How odd, knows this, path takes.
This is, shelf of—shall we!

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Left bend—low bend—then steam-vent—

[ASHIMASI]
…spent.

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Stone lip—small dip—mind step—

[ASHIMASI]
…kept.

[MASIASHI]
Well, that is something, actually...
Wait up, I'll play, beat keep.
Ay, what's that ahead?

[DEW-MATRON]
Ah sees, through place, pass we,
Old name… mist shape, lost scene.
(soft bell sound)
Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet.

[Chorus]

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
See—Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet!
See seat—keep feet—no cheat—no eat—

[ASHIMASI & MASIASHI]
Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet?

[Verse 2]

[MASIASHI]
What's this? Dig site? Stage-thing?
Tools left, tags marked, grid strings?
A site staged for scholars absent;
strat-ta, in-co...he-rant, se-quence?

[ASHIMASI]
Prank traps, brow beat, plot seeks.
Take joke, sense what, laugh peaks.
Keep up, Moss-eee, osh-eee!

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Bone-spiral—twice-coil—“neat.”

[ASHIMASI]
…neat.

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Sand-glass—grain-rise—“up-leak.”

[ASHIMASI]
…leak.

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Ink-press—ex-press—“drag-gleek.”

[ASHIMASI]
…gleek.
(laughs)

[Verse 3]

[MASIASHI]
Dis-used, al-tar, 'on-ors, which god,
stat-ue, a-top, wheel seems,
slice-cut, hole-filled, cheese-themed?
Ah, something to read. Dedication perhaps?
Reads,
“WHEEL WHAT TURNS / LEAVES WHAT SEES? / RIND THE SLICE / BECOME THE CHEESE.”

[ASHIMASI]
Rid-dle, keeps own, rhyme-scheme,
hav-ing, fun yet, Moss-eee, osh-eee?

[DEW-MATRON]
Best let, what rests, sleep here,
best kept, sec-rets, blinds seer.

[Chorus]

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
See—Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet!
See beat—soft beat—lane tight—lanterns—bright—

[ASHIMASI & MASIASHI]
Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet.

[Bridge]

[DEW-MATRON]
Dims next, past this. Light sight, tight feet; trace seam, vents steam.

[MASIASHI]
Keep time, trace line, plain laid, sure seems.
Almost there yet? Opens up just ahead?

[ASHIMASI]
Fate-hint, walks right, sees now, next turn, there leads...

[ASHIMASI (sings)]
Mush-lamp guides, pours gentled sights I see;
hush of wind on marsh mar-row reed.
Fate threads tug, as moths drawn on to me—
I'll hold them soft, thanks where dew—sight sees me.

[MASIASHI (sings simultaneously)]
Sequence, cadence, pressure, heat;
observe, infer, keep each record neat.
Stranger paths need saner heads, smarter feet,
By chance we come here, or one on keeps the beat—
Unsettled and unsure, suppose soon enough we'll see...
(soft hum)

[Verse 4]

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
Ald-old made us—out of Dow-what-fell—

[MASIASHI]
Dow, you say?

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
…dew. dew-what-fell. Bell-fell—shell-fell—(clicks).

[DEW-MATRON]
Ancestor rain, little scholar. You will see, Enough for now.

[Final Chorus]

[ELYTRA CHORUS]
See—Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet!
See heat—dark heat—lanterns—meet—keep—

[ASHIMASI & MASIASHI]
Eee-hee-nee-pah-leet.

[Outro]

[DEW-MATRON]
Scuttles stop, hush steps; we mind, what near now beast seeks.
Mer and Hive like, favor foods seems, damp lamp,
Awhile by Dew sees,

[ASHIMASI]
Glow hide, eyes blind, Dew-eyes, guide me...

[MASIASHI]
We will bear on then, though would prefer know what'a ahead.
Just behind you, I 'dew' not see as well...
(laughs)
(clicks and hums fade out)
