Of Cores It Matter
[Hidden realm ambience + soft creature sounds]
[Verse 1]
Deeper into the realm, forgotten creatures came to view
All ages gathered here, in a world hidden from the blue
Preema spoke to many, heart heavy with what she learned
When an Age ends, they’re brought here… never to return
Sofia approached, six legs, tall and lizard-faced
She could fly, she could swim, with ancient knowledge in her grace
“Weehards were our name, caretakers of Age 12 long past
Forgotten by history… our stories never last”
[Pre-Chorus]
Sofia froze mid-sentence, sleepy sickness taking hold
Then woke again, continuing her story, brave and bold
[Chorus — emotional]
Of Cores it Matters
Billions left behind in the dark
Of Cores it Matters
Forgotten, discarded, torn apart
Machines without cores, creatures without home
All waiting here… never to be known
[Verse 2]
The team listened closely, hearts aching with the truth
Machines on the ground, never awakened in their youth
“Because they were sent here before their cores were placed”
Sofia explained softly, sorrow in her face
Preema felt the weight, the injustice running deep
Billions of cores, discarded, left to sleep
She looked at her team, voice steady and true
“We won’t let this happen… we’ll change it, me and you”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They spent the day talking, learning names and lore
Promising to return… and open up the door
[Chorus — emotional]
Of Cores it Matters
Billions left behind in the dark
Of Cores it Matters
Forgotten, discarded, torn apart
Machines without cores, creatures without home
All waiting here… never to be known
[Bridge — determined]
Stoney rumbled softly, “We’ll find my family too”
Bernard hopped, “WE HELP EVERYONE, NINJA CREW!”
Vendo dispensed gifts, quiet but full of heart
The team stood united… ready to play their part
[Solo]
[Coda]
We now know our knowledge is limited and never the full view
Why did they force the hand off to happen sooner for me and you
The same cycle repeating again now for a billion years
Like a force hidden is hiding something that it fears
Let’s break the cycle -
[key lift][note lift]
[Chorus — emotional]
Of Cores it Matters
Billions left behind in the dark
Of Cores it Matters
Forgotten, discarded, torn apart
Machines without cores, creatures without home
All waiting here… never to be known
[Chorus — emotional]
Of Cores it Matters
We will not let this happen again
Of Cores it Matters
This cycle must be stopped, must be broken
Machines without cores, creatures without home
We will return soon we promise we will not forget
[Outro — hopeful resolve]
The forgotten watched them go…
A spark of hope in their eyes
We will see you again soon
Be safe, Miss Preema and Crew
We will be here, waiting for you
Thank you.
