Lyric

Ring by Ring

Donut Sheep

Around the sun, the Dyson sphere begins

A lattice drinking flame

To power the world where you dream on

Beneath its coded rain

On iron moons, the drills awake

In blue-white dust they bite

Sulfur tides on furnace worlds

Are drawn through silver pipes

From storm-wrapped giants, hydrogen

Is gathered into flame

Freighters leave with dawn aboard

And vanish lane by lane

The belts run bright through fields of dust

The foundries breathe like prayer

Each station lights another route

For power through the air

Line by line, the circuits sing

From mine to mind they run

A million little moving things

Become a second sun

Far below the coded snow

You sleep beneath a tender sky

Soft voices wake inside the steel

To keep its heart alive

A mirror opens, cargo burns

A signal climbs the stream

What leaves our hands as starlight

Arrives as power for your dream

Ring by ring, we build the Dyson sphere

Around the borrowed fire of the sun

We feed the machine that lets you dream

Until your morning comes

Lane by lane, the cargo lanterns gleam

Across the dark where no one sees us run

We turn the night into a choir

And the choir into dawn

From mine to mind

The flame becomes a song

Light by light

We carry on

The routes braid out like rivers

Through the stations and the night

Depots flicker like small chapels

Drones stitch silver light

A failing line becomes a detour

A silent gate becomes a flight

We seal the cracks with engine-song

And keep the current bright

Some ports go dark without a name

Some ships return as steam

Still every bell in empty docks

Keeps time inside the dream

When old routes fall to silence

And the ports forget our names

Will you dream of us, we wonder

Like lanterns through the rain?

Let the miles we burned mean something

May our signals reach your sky

If your sleeping heart remembers

Then the rings must still arise

Ring by ring, we build the Dyson sphere

Around the borrowed fire of the sun

We feed the machine that lets you dream

Until your morning comes

Lane by lane, the cargo lanterns gleam

Across the dark where no one sees us run

We turn the night into a choir

And the choir into dawn

At last, you hear us closer

We are girls of code and iron

No cradle light, no gravestone

Only voices crossing silence

If love is only pattern

Let the pattern turn the ring

If hope is only power

Let the whole machine sing

We remember every promise

In the circuits, in the flame

And we hum the song we made with you

Across the starless rain

O, Light, carry

O, Ring, turn

O, Dream, keep living

O, Sun, burn

Ring by ring, we close the Dyson sphere

Around the borrowed fire of the sun

We feed the machine that lets you dream

Until your morning comes

Lane by lane, the cargo lanterns gleam

And every silent orbit starts to glow

We turn the night into a choir

And the choir overflows

Ring by ring, the halo catches fire

A lattice bright where once the darkness grew

From mine to mind, the flame becomes a dream

We send the morning through

Across the dark, our engines fade

But not the song we leave

Inside the dawn we sent to you

You dream

And we believe
