[Intro] [Verse 1] Before the sentence only breath a finger in the dust a wedge in the clay a name that would not die [Pre-Chorus] The stone reads the stone a buried tongue wakes [Chorus] The word remains the word remains the mouth is dust the word remains [Verse 2] Law bound in a book an epic on the water a teacher with no pen still speaking in the copy [Verse 3] A press makes strangers kin a charter stands and speaks a spark climbs off the slab a diary learns to breathe [Chorus] The word remains the word remains the mouth is dust the word remains [Verse 4] Desert god folding year a city made of night the page becomes a network then a cursor throwing light [Bridge] The last script runs it does not ask the margin opens like a mouth and answers back in kind [Final Chorus] The word remains the word remains we walk the river mark by mark and leave the last page open [Outro] This. Is. Chrono lexis.
