Lyrics
Intro
future-instrument hit-suite, pagan folk prologue with hand drums, flutes, choral hum
spacey psych ambience and tape-echo haze
mono infra-sub locked to kick, dark-to-light key changes
Verse 1
prog-key detours 5/4 and 7/8, arpeggiators and octave leads
bassline mashup centerpiece: warm growl plus bright clank, finger runs
Rhodes glow, tight hats
The moss is creeping up the monolith of chrome
We left the dying orbit that we used to call our home
The digital druids are charting the stars
With astrolabes built from the wreckage of Mars
Follow the glowing mycelial thread
Through the cosmic abyss where the ancient ones bled!
A potion of stardust, a silicon root
We’re planting the seed of a heavier fruit!
Chorus
snap to 4/4 choruses, club morph chain: four-on-floor
pop hooks rebuilt on analog polysynth stacks and FM bells
overdriven Hammond roar and organ swells, synthbrass fanfares
gated snare, tom fills, wide glossy hi-fi master
GATHER THE TRIBE ON THE EDGE OF THE SKY!
WATCHING THE NEON LEVIATHAN FLY!
A BRAND NEW PLANET, A FOREST OF LIGHT!
WE’RE WEAVING THE SPELL IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT!
THE MUSHROOMS ARE HUMMING, THE ENGINES ARE WARM!
WE RIDE ON THE EYE OF THE PSYCHEDELIC STORM!
Post-Chorus
club morph chain: dembow, amapiano bounce
portamento glide riffs, clav stabs, slap pops, octave jumps
(Chant it out!)
Earth-born, star-bound!
Roots deep in the holy ground!
Earth-born, star-bound!
Lost forever, finally found!
Verse 2
prog-key detours 9/8, guitars: palm-muted chugs, tremolo swarms
bassline mashup: pick gallops, harmonics
Drink from the crater, the water is sweet
The gravity dancing along with our feet
We painted our faces with rings of Saturn
And coded our DNA into the pattern
The goddess of orbit, the horned god of wire
They meet in the core of the nuclear fire!
Chorus
snap to 4/4 choruses, club morph chain: four-on-floor
pop hooks rebuilt on analog polysynth stacks and FM bells
overdriven Hammond roar and organ swells, synthbrass fanfares
GATHER THE TRIBE ON THE EDGE OF THE SKY!
WATCHING THE NEON LEVIATHAN FLY!
A BRAND NEW PLANET, A FOREST OF LIGHT!
WE’RE WEAVING THE SPELL IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT!
THE MUSHROOMS ARE HUMMING, THE ENGINES ARE WARM!
WE RIDE ON THE EYE OF THE PSYCHEDELIC STORM!
Modular Interlude
modular interlude: CV/gate polyrhythms, Euclidean triggers, ratchets
random voltage, wavefolder, granular clouds
leitmotifs with smash-cut cues, dark-to-light key changes
(Synthesized chanting, wordless choral hums)
(Mechanical breathing, ring-modulations)
Guitar and Keyboard Solo
prog-key solos with odd-meter detour 13/16
guitars: sustain solo, wah cries, pinch harmonics
club morph chain: halftime drop to breakbeat
bassline mashup: warm growl, bright clank, frantic finger runs
Bridge
club morph chain: DnB sprint, tight hats, gated snare
arpeggiators and octave leads, tape-echo haze
The old world is burning in absolute cold,
But our new horizon is purple and gold!
The ritual circles, the circuitry hums,
We summon the dawn with the beat of the drums!
Final Chorus
snap to 4/4 choruses, four-on-floor absolute maximum energy
pop hooks rebuilt on analog polysynth stacks and FM bells
synthbrass fanfares, overdriven Hammond roar, glossy hi-fi master
GATHER THE TRIBE ON THE EDGE OF THE SKY!
WATCHING THE NEON LEVIATHAN FLY!
A BRAND NEW PLANET, A FOREST OF LIGHT!
WE’RE WEAVING THE SPELL IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT!
THE MUSHROOMS ARE HUMMING, THE ENGINES ARE WARM!
WE RIDE ON THE EYE OF THE PSYCHEDELIC STORM!
Outro
leitmotifs with smash-cut cues, portamento glide riffs
pagan folk prologue returning: flutes, hand drums
spacey psych ambience and tape-echo haze fading
We are the seed...
We are the tree...
We are the cosmos, entirely free...
mono infra-sub rumble fades out, final FM bell chime
