[Verse]

In the red earth where the spirits run deep

The stars keep secrets the ancestors keep

A circle of fire where the stories unfold

A tale of respect in the ages of old

[Chorus]

To be taken by kin when my breath is gone

A sacred rite when the spirit moves on

An honor so high only the few may see

Consumed by the love of my family

[Verse 2]

They sing to the sky with a rhythm untamed

Echoes of life in a world unclaimed

The elders whisper what the young must know

In death there’s a path where the spirit will go

[Chorus]

To be taken by kin when my breath is gone

A sacred rite when the spirit moves on

An honor so high only the few may see

Consumed by the love of my family

[Bridge]

Bones to dust beneath the moonlit sand

Ashes carried by a weathered hand

A cycle unbroken where the river bends

This is how the story ends

[Chorus]

To be taken by kin when my breath is gone

A sacred rite when the spirit moves on

An honor so high only the few may see

Consumed by the love of my family
