[Verse 1] Born in the breath of a fleeting star, a flicker in the cosmic tide. Eons stretch beyond our reach, yet here we stand, and here we fade. [Pre-Chorus] The nebula’s whisper does not know our name, but we are the eyes that behold its fire. [Chorus] Dust adrift on silent waves, we measure time in heartbeats. A moment lost in the endless dark, yet without us, who would know it shines? [Verse 2] Mountains rise, then turn to sand, galaxies drift like autumn leaves. We trace their spirals, count their days, brief hands against the wheel of time. [Pre-Chorus] The void is vast, but it cannot gaze, we are the minds that bring it light. [Chorus] Dust adrift on silent waves, we measure time in heartbeats. A moment lost in the endless dark, yet without us, who would know it shines? [Bridge] The stars do not mourn, nor does the sea, yet we are here, and so they matter. To vanish is not to be unseen, for we are the voice that sings their name. [Outro] Let the universe endure, let the ages pass unbroken. We were here, we beheld, and for that, it was known. [final chorus, key change] Dust adrift on silent waves, we measure time in heartbeats. A moment lost in the endless dark, yet without us, who would know it shines? [Outro] Conscious matter We were here We mattered Just a drop in the cosmic sea Yet without us, who would know its grandeur?
