[Verse 1]
Before the maps were drawn in sand,
A lion watched the eastern land.
At Giza, dawn met carved stone eyes,
While Leo climbed the springtime skies.

From fitted blocks and pale stone skin,
They raised dry rooms to shelter within:
A ledger sealed from salt and rain,
A measure meant to outlast the plain.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then ice let go; the coast withdrew,
And water climbed where gardens grew.
The harbors vanished, silt by silt—
A world unmade beneath the flood.

[Chorus]
Carry the measure, carry the seed,
Carry the craft that the next world will need.
Over the water, beyond the shore,
Keep one true pattern, and begin once more.

[Verse 2]
The builders turned to higher ground,
With star charts wrapped and grain packed round.
A shipwright sealed the seams with pitch,
And counted stores by careful measure.

No crown could save the fields below;
They lashed the living seeds in rows.
Through rain and wreckage, night and foam,
They bore the means to make a home.

[Chorus]
Carry the measure, carry the seed,
Carry the craft that the next world will need.
Over the water, beyond the shore,
Keep one true pattern, and begin once more.

[Verse 3]
Two thousand years, the bull held court,
Its temple laws, its ancient port.
Then ram-horn seasons crossed the sky,
And heirs began to split the line.

Northward, Goshen gathered minds,
Smiths and planners, sharp and kind.
Joseph read the Pharaoh’s dream:
Seven full years, then famine’s seam.

[Bridge]
At Heliopolis, the ledgers joined,
Two guarded libraries aligned.
A royal counselor, clear-eyed, stood,
And turned the warning into food.

[Final Chorus]
Carry the measure, carry the seed,
Carry the craft that the next world will need.
From lion stone to river grain,
Old knowledge crossed the flood and flame.
Carry the measure, carry it through;
A future begins with what we renew.

[Outro]
The lion faces morning still;
The river bends beneath the hill.
A grain, a chart, a vessel’s seam—
The world begins again in seed.
