Ambient Intro - Spoken softly over gentle beats]
Breathe in the mountain air
Let your spirit take flight
Natural Habitat welcomes you
To the sacred realm of monarchs
[Verse 1 - Ethereal, floating vocals]
Stained glass wings in morning light
Three thousand miles through day and night
Mechanoreceptors guide their way
As Eric leads us how to stay
(Present, present, present now)
[Chorus - Building electronic pulse]
This is a map (echoes)
Written on wings of gold
This is a map (echoes)
Of mysteries untold
Orange and black (whispered)
Leading us back (whispered)
To where transformation flows
[Meditative Bridge - Soft pulsing beat]
Maru counts each sacred soul
While we learn to let go
Take a shot of ethanol
Let the magic unfold
(Let it unfold)
[Verse 2 - Layered vocals with nature sounds]
Generation four takes flight
Through thermal currents pure and bright
Hydrodynamic poetry
Dancing through the oyamel trees
(Dancing, dancing, free)
[Zen Break - Eric's spoken meditation]
Breathe with the mountain
Feel the flutter of wings
Natural Habitat brought us here
To witness miraculous things
[Rising Chorus - Electronic crescendo]
This is a map (echoes)
Written in butterfly gold
This is a map (echoes)
Where family stories unfold
Orange and black (whispered)
Leading us back (whispered)
To where ancient wisdom flows
[Conservation Bridge - Maru's Message]
Count the wings that fill the sky
Learn the reasons butterflies
Make this sacred journey home
Like us, they're never alone
(Never alone)
[Final Meditation - Ambient fade]
One more shot of ethanol
As we merge with butterfly souls
Three thousand miles of mysteries
Guide us home through sacred trees
Natural Habitat showed us the way
To find ourselves transformed today
[Outro - Whispered over fading beats]
Breathe in butterfly
Breathe out light
Eric guides our flight
While Maru keeps their light
Generation after generation
We are all one flight
(Fade to nature sounds and gentle heartbeat drums)
