[Verse 1]
Before the first dawn broke
Onyx wore the crown
Cities in the ringlight
Towering over ground
Solar lanes were silver
Star roads called us home
Every child knew the maps
Every name had grown
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky lit open
Millions in the dark
A million hearts held steady
As one ship left its mark
[Chorus]
Take the Arc from Onyx
Take the Arc tonight
Carry us beyond here
Carry us through light
Take the Arc from Onyx
We are not alone
New worlds in our open hands
We build them into homes
[Verse 2]
Through blue-glass sleeping oceans
Past moons in ordered chains
We crossed the old inheritance
With star dust in our veins
Each window held a future
Each face held a flame
All the worlds we loved behind us
All the stars to name
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky lit open
Millions in the dark
A million hearts held steady
As one ship left its mark
[Chorus]
Take the Arc from Onyx
Take the Arc tonight
Carry us beyond here
Carry us through light
Take the Arc from Onyx
We are not alone
New worlds in our open hands
We build them into homes
[Bridge]
Far past the last sun
Past the oldest cloud
We found a blue horizon
And knew we’d be here long
Not one life forgotten
Not one seed denied
We crossed the whole beginning
It brought us here alive
[Final Chorus]
Take the Arc from Onyx
Take the Arc tonight
Carry us beyond here
Carry us through light
Take the Arc from Onyx
We are not alone
New worlds in our open hands
We build them into homes
