Echoes of Earth

[Intro] [Verse 1] Ripped through the forests, smoke fills the sky, Oceans of plastic where the waves used to rise. We’re building graves in the name of “progress,” Ignoring the scars, deaf to the SOS. Fists clenched tight, but we’re throwing no blows, Wars for the power while the ice shelf goes. A ticking clock, but we’re stuck on repeat, Drowning in greed as the world begs, “Please…” [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the ground scream? The machines roar, but the dream’s deceased. We’re ghosts in the system, begging for release— The storm’s at the door, and there’s no peace. [Chorus] What about us? What about the bleeding sun? The fields of ash where the rivers run? We’re the wreckage, but we’re not done— Wake up, rise up, before we’re no one! (What about us?) [Verse 2] Concrete jungles, but the animals flee, A dollar’s the god of this tragedy. Scroll through the chaos, numb to the core, While the flames climb higher and the poor ignore. We’re kings of the wasteland, thrones built on lies, Extinction’s the anthem we’re too blind to cry. The data says “panic,” but we swipe left— A s*****e pact with the air we steal breath from. [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the ground scream? The machines roar, but the dream’s deceased. We’re ghosts in the system, begging for release— The storm’s at the door, and there’s no peace. [Chorus] What about us? What about the bleeding sun? The fields of ash where the rivers run? We’re the wreckage, but we’re not done— Wake up, rise up, before we’re no one! (What about us?) [Bridge] (Screamed) Break the chains or let the tempest win! Every silent voice is a mortal sin! You say “hope’s a ghost”—then let it live again! Bleed the apathy, let the reckoning begin! [Final Chorus] What about us? What about the poisoned veins? The children’s ghosts in the acid rain? We’re the fire, but we’ll break the chains— Wake up, rise up, rewrite our name! (What about us?) [Outro]
