Fingerprint

Verse 1

I found a book that smelled like desert

Pages loose in Ethiopian blue

Said Enoch walked and did not stumble

Two hundred fell on Hermon with a different view

They loved the daughters and they taught them how to paint their eyes

Taught them iron and they taught them how to cut

Their sons grew tall and hungry

Till the earth itself cried shut

Pre-Chorus

Fingerprint on every temple stone

Puma Punku Giza Baalbek

Not quite our own

Chorus

Oh it's a fingerprint

In every stone and gap

Jack said the last one left it

Not myth but a map

A code from the Watchers

Written in the clay

Calling every lost one home

Before the sky gives way

Verse 2

The priests made schools around it

Kept the letters and 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

Pre-Chorus

Fingerprint you feel it in the clay

A tomb that's not a tomb

Where the chained ones lay

Chorus

Oh it's a fingerprint

In every stone and gap

The old man swore he sealed it

Under sand oath and bone

So we wouldn't find it early

So we wouldn't go alone

A code from the Watchers

Written in the clay

Calling every lost one home

Before the sky gives way

Bridge

If you want to find it

Don't look for the gold

Look for a door that shouldn't be there

In a hill they never told

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

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 the old man said it might

We will know we read it right

Too late or just in time

Hook

Too late or just in time

Too late or just in time
