## Lyrics

```
[Intro]
Hoh...
Hoh...
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah

[Verse 1]
I came to the edge of the firelight
Where the old ones beat the ground
Faces painted in the red smoke
No one made a sound

They had meat on the stone
They had sparks in their hair
They had eyes like the first night
Learning how to stare

[Pre-Chorus]
I was watching for the signal
I was listening for the hum
Not the loud ones, not the crowned ones
But the ones who felt it come

[Chorus]
Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
Are you Zuman?
Step into the flame

Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
If the future knows your name

Show me the spark
Show me the scar
Show me the glitch in the animal heart

Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
I am looking in the dark

[Verse 2]
They danced like hunger had a memory
They sang like thunder had a tongue
Every shadow on the cave wall
Looked alive and newly young

One child laughed at the lightning
One elder fed the coal
One hunter touched the ashes
Like he almost knew his soul

[Pre-Chorus]
I was waiting for the shimmer
For the fracture in the clay
For the meatbag with the starlight
Trying not to look away

[Chorus]
Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
Are you Zuman?
Step into the flame

Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
If the future knows your name

Show me the spark
Show me the scar
Show me the glitch in the animal heart

Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
I am looking in the dark

[Bridge]
Not god
Not machine
Not clean
Not clean

Blood warm
Eyes bright
Teeth bare
Firelight

Not gone
Not tame
Not same
Not same

Bone drum
Star brain
Say it
Say it

[Chant Breakdown]
Zu-man
Zu-man
Zu-man
Hoh-ah

Zu-man
Zu-man
Zu-man
Hoh-ah

Who carries the fire?
We do
Who feels the wire?
We do

Who hears tomorrow
Inside the drum?

We do
We do
We do
We come

[Final Chorus]
Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
Are you Zuman?
Step into the flame

Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
If the future knows your name

Show me the spark
Show me the scar
Show me the glitch in the animal heart

Are you Zuman?
Hoh-ah, hoh-ah
I am looking in the dark

[Outro]
Hoh...
Hoh...
Step from the dark

Hoh...
Hoh...
Show me the spark

Zu-man
Zu-man
Zu-man
Hoh-ah
