Through the ancient lands of our forebears
Barefoot and empty-handed
And rested in the lengthening shadows of their desolate temples
Knowing that they had been as we were
Builders, diggers, and strivers

I love that. That it came across anyway. I wonder if I shouldn't have used the tag and just left it implicit.
Thanks! Totally digital just kind of drawn as if it were print layers.
This is really cool.
If my lemmings were like this I am very, very sorry for what I did!
