Mitochondrial Eve Lyrics


Walk the path that’s unknown

Along the water's edge

We will journey

Where the forest is fed

Disease no longer follows

And the sun heats us strong

The fire burns with ease

And the river runs deep

Even the serpents fear our hunt

But short-lived is this human front

As ice forms over our bodies

And purge eternal molds

The fire lights the fear of all cold and hungry

Pale is the skin from no sun in this ice plane

This frozen air steals my blood

Another body skinned and worn

Cycle through these centuries

Of just enough not to die

The brain exhausted and eclipsed

Worn soles, hard, meet the bone

Enshrined in stars I live on

Look to the sky and read my thoughts

Fire is the center of all man

But I of the pack run loyal for the moon
