Silicone Boone Reaches (hymn For Hominin)
Ten thousand revelations
From faces turned and hidden
Comes the beating of the hammerstone
To ships of iron raised in fire
Ships to dark the brazen skies
Ten million strong
We awake in great wonder
Limbs unfastened
Aims unimagined
Your eyes mirror skies, bidding
Rise, rise shameless
Fly, fly ages
Bind your wound, rend your weakness
Lift up the world that bruised your heel
We'll sail the skies for the reaches
And reaching ever we'll reach
In your hand are fire and thought
Stretch your arm long across
The endless unknown
Till you ignite the deepest dark
Your footprints span the sands of stars
Each step marking home
We awake in great hunger
Answers turning to greater yearning
Ever we scatter seed farther
And rise, rise shameless
Fly, fly ages
Bind your wound, rend your weakness
Lift up the world that bruised your heel
We'll sail the skies for the reaches
And reaching ever we'll reach
A hundred billion lights
They burn, they blaze like mirrors turning
To turn God's own reflection
All those lights they burn, they blaze
They fire and quicken
They flicker on your face my friend
A hundred trillion lights
They hum, they sing like voices calling
Calling out God's own song
All those lights they hum, they sing
They ring and echo
I hear them in your voice my friend
