Geology's Patient Art

[Chorus] Sunrise bleeds on embers cold A white sea rises, stories untold Through my lens, the heavens part An ancient pulse within my heart [Verse] Woke alone on this island height Tent a haven in fading night Fog unfurls, a milky veil Whispering a cosmic tale My old scope, a faithful friend On this journey without end [Pre-Chorus] Crosshairs steady, a focused stare Breathing in the mountain air Each ticking second, a soft sound As ancient truths are found [Chorus] Sunrise bleeds on embers cold A white sea rises, stories untold Through my lens, the heavens part An ancient pulse within my heart [Verse] Every stone beneath my feet Holds a history, bitter-sweet Older than empires, proud and grand Dust of ages in my hand This rocky crown, a silent king What timeless songs the mountains sing? [Pre-Chorus] Watch the mist begin to creep Secrets that the valleys keep My watch hand sweeps, a steady beat Time and starlight, bittersweet [Chorus] Sunrise bleeds on embers cold A white sea rises, stories untold Through my lens, the heavens part An ancient pulse within my heart [Bridge] The solar disk begins to fade A celestial masquerade Shadows stretch, a silent plea For what was, and what will be Geology's long, patient art Reflected in this breaking heart [Verse] The world is vast, the years are deep While nations rise and fall asleep I stand here, a lonely sage Turning time's eternal page Witness to a grand design This moment, yours and mine
