We are the world in blood and bone
Wrought of the ashes from stars Fashioned vessels of stellar construction
To hold the immortal codices of life
Close your eyes and see
Slam shut the scales of sight
See where you are brought from
That such resources lie within us
Coiled and ready to unravel
The memories of the ancients
In a temporal kinship
That shakes hands across the aeons
Ever to renew, to repeat
We are the fixed points in time
Phoenixes birthed in the ashes of history
