[Verse] One night the stars began to speak, In symbols carved on cavern cheek. The hunt became a painted breath, The fire told stories about death. [Verse] We named the moon, we mapped the storm, Built gods from bones to keep us warm. In dreams we walked where none had tread — We learned to fear the things we said. [Chorus] This was the great leap — The howl turned hymn, The blood turned ink, The edge grew thin. We lit the dark with wonder’s flame — And nothing would be safe again. [Bridge] One step forward, minds unchained, Hearts ablaze and not yet tamed. With every myth, a sharpened blade — With every prayer, a new crusade. [Verse] We sang the sun, we mourned the fall, We wrote our names on temple wall. But in our eyes the old ones grin — The forest still echoes deep within. [Chorus - repeat, more urgent] This was the great leap — The howl turned hymn, The blood turned ink, The edge grew thin. We climbed inside the storm and flame — And called it human… gave it name. [Outro - instrumental fade into ambient vocals, whispers layered over guitar swell] "Dreamwalker… firespeaker… You, the child of silence… now sing…"
