Gotta toast to the old ones
Who came a long, long way
Drove the ark that brought the spark
Made us what we are today
Broke through the sky in a fireball
Crashed into a boiling sea
Planetary kamikazes planting the seed
Rise again, Rise again from the ashes
Kingdoms fall and ages pass us
Egypt buried in the sand
Older seas swallowed Atlantis
Take Five on Man
Shooting through the black
Screaming fiery tail piercing through the veil
No point looking back
Crash landing down below
No where else we can go
This blue rock is now home
It’s home. Our home. Your home.
Lift em high for our ancestors
Who fell out of the void
Sliced through stones with magic tones
Stacked ‘em up like children’s toys
Frequency and amplitude
Secret weapon, source of joy
Celestial wizards- first ones to bring the noise
Tonight I drink to the ancients
Grandparents of us all
To the angels and the demons
In the paintings on the cave wall
If this leaves your head spinnin’
It’s for a damn good cause
Galactic insurgents removed our scales and claws
