An old man says
"Listen to the waves
They are carrying ancient memories..."

The fallen stars
The perfect twins
One sacrificed becoming savior

From the restless sky
The eternal sea
They fell like rain
Getting away
Away from the sea

Obsessive, seductive
The scent of foreign land
The twins would soon arrive
As twins they were designed
The world was made
By the hands of Amma
Moving away
Drifting away, far from the sea

Amphibians
Were the makers of our laws
Amphibians

An old man says
"Listen to the waves
They are carrying ancient memories
Across the sea of countless stars"

Inventive, seductive
As Dogon's stories tell
The twins that were divine
As twins they were designed
The world was made
By the hands of Amma
Moving away
Drifting away
Far from the sea

Amphibians
Were the makers of our laws
Amphibians

An old man says
"Listen to the waves
They are carrying ancient memories
To the silence"

An old man says
"Listen to the waves!
They are carrying ancient memories
Across the sea of countless stars"

The fallen stars
The perfect twins
One sacrificed becoming savior

They are carrying ancient memories
To the silence
