The Aquatic Ancestry of Man Lyrics


We are born of ocean tides

Children of pressure, waves, and grind

from primal seas، dark and cold

to lands of bone and stone

A shared gene, my true origin

In wet embryos, deep within life

True evolution is still alive

A dangerous form that will survive

From the deep, we crawled to land

Flesh and bone shaped by time’s hand

Through the forests, through the fire

We rose from mud, from death, from mire

Blood and sweat, the ages we tread

Bones of the past beneath our heads

From ape to mind, the path was long

Singing the dark, eternal song

When I am gone

Cast me to the sea

Return my flesh to ancient depths

where life began in fluid form

We rose from ancient cells

No sacred guiding force exists

Random mutations shaped our path

Time and struggle formed us

From dark primordial oceans deep

One shared genetic code burns

No divine creator formed us

Evolution alone explains existence

In the dark of the world, the ocean calls

Ancient whispers in shadowed halls

From water and blood, new Darwinian rise

Fire in their hearts, truth in their eyes

Generations fall and then rise once more

Ash to life on a primal shore

Through night and storm, we still endure

Dark evolution, fierce and pure

When I am gone

Cast me to the sea

Return my flesh to ancient depths

where life began in fluid form
