Origin Song

[Verse 1]
Started with a bang, started with the light
And all the minerals and metals taking flight
Started in the water, came to the land
Washing up amongst the rocks and on the sands
Started in the trees, carried on the breeze
Came with the pollen and the birds and the bees
Started with a spear, started with a fire
Grew from survival and to search for something higher

[Chorus]
As seasons will change
So will empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth

[Verse 2]
Started with a song, started with a word
And with a beating of a drum and somеthing shared
Started in the mushrooms, grеw on the spores
Began a wonder that was mine and it was yours
Started with a sail, started with the seeds
Grew to a freedom from these elemental needs
Started with a symbol, turn of a wheel
Rode on the back of something wild and something free, free

[Chorus]
As seasons will change
So will empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth

[Verse 3]
Started with a war, started down a road
And in the crowns of all the kings upon their thrones
Started with a debt carried by a slave
Came with a class that grew its fortune from a chain
Started in a cell, started on a page
And with the melting of the ice began a wave
Started in the belly, started with a fight
Began the turn of a wheel that drew the strike

[Chorus]
As seasons will change
So will empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
