[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Salt on the wind
Names in the sand
Eyes to the east
Fire in our hands
[Verse 1]
We were carved in clay and copper
Burning sigils on our skin
Traded sleep for seeing further
Let the thunder pull us in
Dust roads fade into horizon
But our pulse outruns the sun
Ancient breath inside our chests now
Every heartbeat loading guns
[Chorus]
We are daughters of the dawn
Rising
Rising
Never gone
From the deserts to the stars
We remember who we are
Call our shadows
We ignite
Turning silence into light
We are daughters of the dawn
[Verse 2]
Temple stones become a skyline
Glass and silver pierce the blue
Still we circle round the incense
Tracing futures we once drew
Metal wings above the columns
Echoed prayers in every wire
Through the coded storms and data
Hear that old unbroken choir
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Underneath the neon planets
Still the crescent crowns the night
[soaring harmony stack]
All the ghosts of lost empires
March beside us into light
[Chorus]
