We Measured the Sky with Bones - West Coast AI (Symphonic Metal)

Подробнее о видео

“We Measured the Sky with Bones” is a sweeping symphonic metal epic that traces humanity’s relentless quest to understand the universe. From primal curiosity to scientific triumph and moral reckoning, the song blends orchestral grandeur with poetic reflection to explore how we’ve reached for meaning across the ages—not with divine certainty, but with fragile, fearless wonder. It's a celebration of knowledge, a lament for its costs, and ultimately, a tribute to the questions that define us.

Lyrics:

Spoken Intro:
Before the word, before the name
We lit the dark with dying flame
We sang to stone, we howled at stars
And marked the night with ancient scars

The fire crackles
The silence hums
The sky waits
The mind begins to burn

Sung Intro:
A voice with no words
Rises in threads of wind
No meaning yet—
Just shape and sound

Verse:
We cracked the stone to split the beast
Then shaped the moon on mammoth teeth
A shadow danced along the cave—
We gave it names and called it brave

We walked on bones, we bled on leaves
And cast our thoughts on winds and seas
The gods were near, the sky was low—
And still we asked what lies below

Pre-Chorus:
The night held questions, sharp and cold—
And every wound became a map

Chorus:
We measured the sky with bones
Drew gods from blood and stone
We rose like sparks in the void—
Screaming “I am known!”
We etched our fear on fire-lit walls
Then named the silence in the stars

Interlude:
The gears begin to grind
Iron breath and copper teeth
Discovery grows teeth—
And we forget the hands that made the fire

Verse:
We weighed the wind in iron scales
And pinned the sun with copper nails
From sand and breath we forged the glass
To see the future, not the past

We heard the thunder speak in code—
And wrote its voice in gilded prose
A thousand years, a thousand tries
To hold the sky in human eyes

Pre-Chorus:
We lit the page, we lit the fuse—
And called the burning truth

Chorus:
We measured the sky with fire
Caged stars in copper wire
We broke the world to name it—
And left our hands in pyres
We burned the truth to shape the law
And carved our sins into the awe

Interlude:
The choir falters
The pulse slows
We dream in fragments now—
And wake with ash between our teeth

Bridge:
We searched for truth in shattered glass
And found it weeping in the past
We named the atom—then we prayed

The maps we drew ignored the child
The stars grew loud, the silence wild—
And still, the thread of soul unmade

Transition:
(We measured…)
We measured the sky…
(We measured the sky…)
Not to conquer—
But to ask again

Chorus:
We measured the sky with bones
Not gods, but ghosts and dreams
Still we rise on the wind of the unknown
Building truth from seams
We are the line that dares to bend—
The fire that burns to comprehend

Outro:
A breath remains beneath the stars
The fire flickers, but does not die
We listen
We listen
We ask…

Final Lines:
The answer is not light
The answer is the asking
