Intro — 13/8

What moved

before motion?

What counted

before time?

What dreamed of separation—

then woke behind our eyes?

Verse — 13/8

Before the clay received a likeness,

before the heavens learned their height,

was there hunger in the silence?

Did division give it sight?

One became the thing observing.

One became the thing observed.

Distance opened in between them.

We were born inside the wound.

Now the dust examines matter.

Now the blood considers time.

Every atom in the question

once belonged to something dying.

If the source remains within us,

what has buried it so deep?

Does the body hold awareness—

or does awareness dream the flesh asleep?

Chorus — alternating 7/4 and 9/4

Are we how the whole remembers

what it cannot see alone?

Does it enter into limits

just to meet the vast unknown?

Are we here to finish something

left unfinished at the start?

Or to bear a brief awareness

of the whole we stand apart?

Instrumental — 13/8

Verse — 13/8

On the tablet, bread and barley.

On the seal, a turning sky.

Hands that measured out the harvest

gave the wandering stars their signs.

They could reckon an eclipse

and still kneel beneath its shade.

Knowledge widened their horizon.

Wonder would not go away.

We inherit both the measure

and the terror of its reach:

how the heavens yield their patterns,

how their purpose stays concealed.

Was creation ever spoken?

Was there anyone to hear?

If a law precedes existence,

where could law itself appear?

Build — 15/16

Follow matter into absence.

Follow absence into form.

What determines what is possible

before a universe is born?

Chorus — alternating 7/4 and 9/4

Are we how the whole remembers

what it cannot see alone?

Does it enter into limits

just to meet the vast unknown?

Are we here to finish something

left unfinished at the start?

Or to bear a brief awareness

of the whole we stand apart?

Instrumental — alternating 13/8 and 15/16

Outro — 13/8

What moved

before

motion?

What dreamed

before time?

And why does the question

open its

eyes

in mine?
