[Verse] Broad of hand, deep of brow, They danced through ice and thundercloud. Built of ash, of frost, of flame — Carved their legends without name. [Verse] Their children laughed, their hunters bled, They sang in caves, they mourned their dead. The fire was theirs, the night was kind — A mirror race we left behind. [Chorus] Spin the waltz of the ones who fell, In the hush between the yawn and yell. A ghost in the marrow, a cry in the stone, We walked beside them… but not alone. [Bridge - spoken with harmony] "Did they dream of stars? Did they pray or curse? Did they see us coming — Or something worse?" [Verse] They held the cold like a mother’s hand, Drew red deer on the cave wall sand. But time’s a wolf that will not wait — And left them sleeping at the gate. [Chorus - repeat, fuller instrumentation] Spin the waltz of the ones who fell, In the hush between the yawn and yell. A ghost in the marrow, a cry in the stone, We walked beside them… but now walk alone. [Outro - gentle, fading] Neander hearts… still beat below… In every note we’ll never know…
