The Shen Circuit

[Instrumental] This track is an instrumental meditation on cosmic order.

[Verse] Word first, not hand. Sound flows; forms stand. Wild hears then knows. [Pre-Chorus] Name it and order shows. [Chorus] Say, world, turns. Breath, fire, burns. Lines align. From nun, light shines. Divine utterance, Make the design. [Verse] He sings; night keeps time. All the atoms rhyme. Word wakes; land and seas. [Chorus] Say, world, turns. Breath, fire, burns. Lines align. From nun, light shines. Divine utterance, Make the design.

[Verse] No sky yet, no shore, just a hush without a name, An endless black-blue ocean of elements unchained. Nun, Apsu, Tehom - three faces of the same, A cradle and a chaos, a womb before the flame. [Pre-Chorus] I float on the unformed, a heartbeat in the deep, Where possibility is rising from its sleep. [Chorus] Out of the water where the world begins, I hear tomorrow inside the winds. Chaos is only a seed in the sea, Waiting for order to set it free. I'm learning to breathe where no breath has been, The first light flickers; let the making begin. [Verse] No borders but the yearning, like rain before it falls, A galaxy of micro-eddies whispering through the halls. The sea is heavy silence, but you can almost hear The syllables of future lifting out of fear. [Bridge] Call it birthwater, call it midnight's skin, Even in the dark, the dawn leans in. [Chorus] Out of the water where the world begins, I hear tomorrow inside the winds. Chaos is only a seed in the sea, Waiting for order to set it free. I'm learning to breathe where no breath has been, The first light flickers; let the making begin

[Verse] An ancient age, no dust, no dawn, In council where the gods are from, A figure stands, his purpose plain, I'll face the dragon, break its chains. [Pre-Chorus] Not for the glory, not for a throne, But so the house of light is sown. [Chorus] Here am I, send me through, If love's a sword, then make it true. Grant me the words that order brings, I'll quiet the sea; ignite the springs. ... For you... I'll plant a sun, I volunteer until it's done. [Verse] Council agrees, their sure as stars, Authority shared, united hearts, Courage, the silence after "Yes," Destiny takes its first full breath. [Chorus] Here am I, send me through, If love's a sword, then make it true. Grant me the words that order brings, I'll quiet the sea; ignite the springs. For you... I'll plant a sun, I volunteer until it's done.

[Verse] Over, a wing beats slow, A breath from the mouth that taught winds to blow. Shu born like a sneeze, four corners awake, The vortex begins, the stillness breaks. [Pre-Chorus] Every leaf of the universe shivers in that sweep, From surface to subatomic, the breath runs deep. [Chorus] Brood, O wind, circle and sing, Turn the ocean like a wedding ring. Spin the storm into spiral grace, Trace the temple in open space. Breathe on the dust, whisper to bone, Fill the emptiness; make it your own. [Verse] North, south, east, west - one breath, four roads, The hurricane dances, the star-fields unfold. [Outro] What you touch remembers life, Even stone finds pulse and light.

[Verse] "Gather", he says, and the waters lean; "Rise", he says, and the hills are green. From raft on the deep to reeds at the shore, Forests answer, fields implore. [Pre-Chorus] Dry land listens like a child, Cracks its smile, growing wild. [Chorus] Earth, come forth from the blue, Wear the sun, drink the dew. Rivers run to the edges four, Every road a living door. Stone by stone, day by day, He sings the firmament into clay. [Verse] Grain like starlight, orchards like choirs, Soil holds memory of heavenly fires. Creation is kindness learning to speak, Abundance for strong, mercy for weak. [Chorus] Earth, come forth from the blue, Wear the sun, drink the dew. Rivers run to the edges four, Every road a living door. Stone by stone, day by day, He sings the firmament into clay.

[Verse 1] Crack in the hush, gold yolk of a world, Shell splits wide, phoenix-wing unfurled; Light floods out like a river, brave and new. [Pre-Chorus] From bird on Benben to spark in our chest, creation says yes. [Chorus] Break, cosmic egg, spill day on the foam, Sunbird, rise and call us home. Let silver shell give sky its name, We hatch with the heavens, feathered in flame. [Verse 2] Night clings like dew to stone, But the bird's bright cry names what's known. [Bridge] From cracking, not keeping, our brightest futures leap.

[Verse] Drive the pegs in, set the line, Press the scaled ones to the brine. Temen under Egal, hammered through, Serpent sealed in the Apsu blue. [Pre-Chorus] Center the compass, still the spin, Drop the plumb deep; let order win. [Chorus] At the heart of the world, a stone, Where heaven and the deep are sewn. On that weight the ages grow, From root to roof, let rivers flow. Hold the middle, the pattern stays, Shift that heart and the world unlays. [Verse] Enki's seal in the mason's hands, Stone that dams the buried sands. When the mouth is stopped, the deeps lie still, Every tide bends to the mountain's will. [Pre-Chorus] Center the compass, still the spin, Drop the plumb deep; let order win. [Chorus] At the heart of the world, a stone, Where heaven and the deep are sewn. On that weight the ages grow, From root to roof, let rivers flow. Hold the middle, the pattern stays, Shift that heart and the world unlays.

[Verse] Up from the flood, a first green rise, A hill, a heartbeat under the skies. A garden on a mountain, a palace of shade, Where lions lie gentle and swords are unmade. [Pre-Chorus] From this center, worldlines bloom, Eden the floorplan for all rooms. [Chorus] From mound to the margins, grow, Borders learn to glow. Ouroboros rings the round, Keeping sanctuary sound. Earth, takes shape, many lands. From the middle, love expands, [Verse] Four bright rivers lace the plain, Every path a hymn to rain. Start with a garden, end with one too, In the circle of mercy, all things are new. [Pre-Chorus] A refuge for rest, sanctuary of glow, Made to reality, as above, so below. [Chorus] From mound to the margins, grow, Borders learn to glow. Ouroboros rings the round, Keeping sanctuary sound. Earth, takes shape, many lands. From the middle, love expands.

[Verse] Dragon's shadow on the sea, Battle scars in majesty. Through the haze He cast His gaze No resting throne, no holy place. [Chorus] So He called the calm to rise, Set a home beneath the skies. Built a place for Him above, Wove the world for those He loves. [Verse] Stormlight fading on the deep, King in search of peace to keep. From the wild, He cleared the night, Made space for joy, made room for light. [Bridge] From the broken waves He rose, Crowned the heavens where light glows. [Chorus] So He called the calm to rise, Set a home beneath the skies. Built a place for Him above, Wove the world for those He loves.

[Verse] A son of light, but burning eyes; Reached for the throne. Breaker rise, glittering lies, Council sees the shadow. [Pre-Chorus] Scaled question, curled deep, Cast him down, never to sleep. [Chorus] Out to the chaos you go! Outer dark where wild rivers flow. Bite the night; the law holds fast. But for us, high winds Raise the mast. [Post-Chorus] Get to the deep, down to the deep. [Verse] Thrash in Tehom, rattle in Nun, Boundary holds like a ring of sun. Banishment of mercy's art; Turn and learn the lawful heart. [Bridge] Gone from the council, his glow, Mourned beyond the wall. Light withheld; love still calls. [Chorus] Out to the chaos you go! Outer dark where wild rivers flow. Bite the night; the law holds fast. But for us, high winds, Raise the mast.

[Verse] They set a throne on newborn height, Cartouche halo, ropes of light. The name inscribed, a ring so round, Uraeus watching, the temple-crowned. [Pre-Chorus] Because he kept the straightest line, They hand him scepter, rod, and sign. [Chorus] Long live the king who loves the law, Whose breath makes blossom all our awe. In Shen-ring shelter, prenomen bright, He wears the sunrise like a right. [Verse] Benben glitters beneath his seat, A mountain of promise under his feet. Kingship is service, the law in bloom, A garden inside every room. [Chorus] Long live the king who loves the law, Whose breath makes blossom all our awe. Ruling not by iron, but by grace, A circle of safety 'round every place. Round every place Every place

[Verse] A net from a father, a bow made of light, A mace with a memory, a spear for the night. Boots that outrun the rumor of dread, A circle of dancers to tangle its head. [Pre-Chorus] Round the sacred tree they turn, Feet like prayers, hearts that burn. [Chorus] Draw the cord, stretch the ring, Stamp the ground until it sings. Swing the blade, the dragon hears, Tie the storm with the net of years. Weapons gleam, but love's the art, The ring dance binds the serpent's heart. [Verse] Left foot, right foot, compass spun, Four winds lock, nowhere to run. Arm me with rhythm, crown me with right, Ritual become the fight. [Chorus] Round the stone, we braid the ring, Hundred heels make thunder sing. One bright word, and chaos hears, Linked hands cast the net of years. Weapons gleam, but love's the art, The ring dance binds the serpent's heart.

[Verse] There's a law that drags the candle down, Ash from flame, rust from crown. But there's a higher rightness, straight as plumb, Where order drums, the cosmos hums. [Pre-Chorus] Call it Ma'at, Tzedek, Rita, Dao, Truth sets level and lifts us now. [Chorus] Rightness reverse the slide, Turn the tide, turn the tide. When heart is feather-light, Chaos loses, day expels night. Hold the line that holds the stars, Ma'at keeps time, and heals all scars. [Verse] Where justice stands, the second law bends, Entropy falters, order ascends. Walk straight path, glow from within, Rightness the engine, that never dims. [Chorus] Rightness reverse the slide, Turn the tide, turn the tide. When heart is feather-light, Chaos loses, day expels night. Hold the line that holds the stars, Ma'at keeps time, and heals all scars.
