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
