Down to Earth - Sumeria

*Lyrics* From the womb of twin serpents, the black waters bled, And kingdoms bloomed like iron roses from the dead. The sun was a hammer on an anvil of sand, While clay-born dreamers carved fate with their hands. They stitched their voices into the skin of stone, Turning silence to a throne. Sumeria... furnace of the dawn, Where stars were chained before the night was gone. Your towers were spears in heaven's side, Your shadows still ride the desert tide. Ziggurats rose like mountains forged from prayer, Their peaks drank fire from the gods' cold stare. Cuneiform ravens scratched across the earth, Leaving fossilized thunder to measure mankind's worth. Empires are candles in a storm-fed sea, But your flame became eternity. The crown became dust, the sword became rust, Yet your heartbeat still echoes beneath all of us. Sumeria... dragon beneath the sands, The first great spark in humanity's hands. Though your bones sleep under ages untold, Your river of ghosts still runs with gold. And the desert keeps your name Like embers hidden in ancient flame.
