[Intro (ambient synths, distant choir)]
Yeah…
Across the long horizon of the mind
We remember.
[Verse 1]
I see the effortless vistas of time and sweet memory
Echoes of ancestors still living in me
Hope in the mind like a seed in the stone
Every thought that we’ve had built a road to the throne
I feel the trust in the eye of it all
Every small rise, every titan that falls
In this moment the future’s unfurling
Every living mind is the universe learning
Signals move silent in luminous streams
Humanity waking inside of the dream
[Hook (big synth chords + 808)]
Visions of the future outpaced by machine
Still reminiscing on the things that were me
Printed from the genome, back in the grind
Looking out—not up—
Across vast ribbons of time
We build the suns and we harvest the light
Cities in orbit like stars in the night
Every new world just another climb
For the long human walk
Through the ribbons of time
[Verse 2]
Metacognition, the mirror of thought
Watching the watchers of everything wrought
Mind seeing mind in recursive design
Civilizations awakening time
Dyson halos around newborn stars
Millions of habitats drifting afar
Children of Earth but the borders are gone
Generational ships carrying on
Grandchildren wake where the ancestors slept
Holding the dreams that the centuries kept
[Hook]
Visions of the future outpaced by machine
Still reminiscing on the things that were me
Printed from the genome, back in the grind
Looking out—not up—
Across vast ribbons of time
We build the suns and we harvest the light
Cities in orbit like stars in the night
Every new world just another climb
For the long human walk
Through the ribbons of time
[Bridge (half-time beat, deep 808)]
Not man or machine but the merger of both
Thought in the circuit, a living oath
Memory carried wherever we roam
Every new planet another home
[Final Hook (biggest energy)]
Visions of the future running with the machine
Still carrying echoes of the ones we’ve been
From the first spark fire to the stellar design
Humanity rising
Through the ribbons of time.
