Verse 1

Under the jungle's breath, the limestone waits,

Whispers of queens beneath tangled gates.

Cobá's silence, now broken and clear,

A woman's voice rises through the years.

Chorus

She carved her name in the stone and flame,

Through the roots of time, they still proclaim.

In the dust of gods and the moon's soft gleam,

She reigns eternal in the ancient dream.

Verse 2

Feathered shadows, the temples align,

Stars remember what hands designed.

Her power was written, her blood was law,

A queen among kings that the world never saw.

Chorus

She carved her name in the stone and flame,

Through the roots of time, they still proclaim.

In the dust of gods and the moon's soft gleam,

She reigns eternal in the ancient dream.

Bridge

Lightning through the jungle drum,

Echoes call - the ancients come.

Stone remembers, flesh may fade,

But her will was the world she made.

Chorus (final)

She carved her name in the stone and flame,

Through the roots of time, they still proclaim.

In the dust of gods and the moon's soft gleam,

She reigns eternal in the ancient dream.
