[Intro Hook] (Breathy shakuhachi — dry, intimate) Hey— Who hide the fire? Who hide the root? Dum-dum— drum in my blood, moon in my chest, old old voice say: “You forget… you forget… you forget…” [Immediate Hook] Back to the fire! Back to the root! Jomon— inside you! Jomon— inside you! Hands in the dirt! Face to the moon! Old old rhythm coming through! Wake up! Wake up! Eh— remember you… [Verse 1 - Rhythmic Ritual Rap] No king. No wall. No chain round soul. Before the steel, before the greed, before the hungry throne. Foot on earth. Eye on sky. Smoke go up, spirit fly. River talk. Mountain breathe. Forest whisper under feet. Who make the people forget the root? Who make the people forget the truth? Too much noise— brain go tired. Too much speed— heart on fire. But— Dum-dum… under street. Dum-dum… under feet. Ancient drum still beat. [Pre-Hook - Chant] Slow down— slow down— hear the old sound. Slow down— slow down— earth still around. [Hook] Back to the fire! Back to the root! Jomon— inside you! Jomon— inside you! Hands in the dirt! Face to the moon! Old old rhythm coming through! Wake up! Wake up! Eh— remember you… [Verse 2 - More Rap / More Broken] Look— Everybody run— run— run— but nobody know where. Everybody talk— talk— talk— but spirit not there. Old one know: water got memory. Tree got tongue. Silence got energy. No gold. No crown. Just circle round fire. Breath in dark. Soul go higher. Who teach war but forget peace? Who build tower while spirit decrease? Eh— Hear the drum— under concrete. Hear the blood— under heartbeat. Something old still move these streets. [Bridge - Possessed Chant] Aye— Aye— Aye— Moon above! Fire below! Moon above! Fire below! We no forget— No! No forget— No! Old blood— Still flow! Who are we? Who were we? Ancestor breathe inside me. [Final Hook - Bigger / Trance] Back to the fire! Back to the root! Jomon— inside you! Jomon— inside you! Hands in the dirt! Face to the moon! Old old rhythm coming through! Wake up! Wake up! Carry the old! Carry the truth! Ancient light inside you! [Outro - Ritual Fade] (Breathy shakuhachi) Eh— remember… Eh— remember… Dum-dum… still alive… Inside… you…
