Fingerprint in the Sand

Verse 1

I found a book that smelled like desert

Pages loose in Ethiopian blue

Said Enoch walked and did not stumble

Said two hundred came down on Hermon with a different view

They loved the daughters taught them how to paint their eyes

Taught them iron taught them how to cut

And their sons grew tall and hungry

Till the earth itself cried shut

Chorus

Oh it's a fingerprint

In every temple stone

Puma Punku Giza Baalbek

Not quite our own

Jack said the last one left it

Not as myth but as a map

A code from the Watchers

In the gap

Verse 2

You know the priests made schools around it

Kept the letters lost the sound

Turned the calendar into a riddle

364 circles going round and round

He called them Watchers some call Anunnaki

Same tall shadows either way

They knew about water the first time

They knew about fire the next day

Chorus

Oh it's a fingerprint

You can feel it in the clay

A tomb that's not a tomb

Where the chained ones lay

And the old man swore he sealed it

Under sand and oath and bone

So we wouldn't find it early

So we wouldn't go alone

Bridge

If you want to find it

Don't look for gold

Look for a door that shouldn't be there

In a hill they never told

And the message isn't power

It's just a second chance to read

What drowned the world before

Wasn't done with greed

Verse 3

Now my daughter asks me about giants

I tell her about stars that fell

About men who wanted to be gods

And made this place their hell

Maybe Enoch left it for a reason

Maybe love looks like a warning bell

Final Chorus

Oh it's a fingerprint

Through every age we roam

A code left by the fallen

To bring the lost ones home

And if the sky tears open

Like Cary said it might

We will know we read it right

Too late or just in time
