[Verse 1] In the whisper of the dying breeze I feel the earth beneath my trembling feet Shadows fall across forgotten trees Where once was life, now echoes the retreat [Pre-Chorus] A velvet sorrow drapes the sky Crimson tears of fragile hope Silent prayers to nights gone by We stand on edges learning how to cope [Chorus] Why do we watch while the world is fading Hear her cries in every storm and rain Can we reclaim the love we’ve been trading Before her heart breaks once again [Verse 2] Moonlight trembles on a shattered stream Wings of ash where angels used to soar Fractured dreams c***h through the midnight gleam We reach for dawn but find an empty shore [Pre-Chorus] Ghostly voices call our names Through ruins of a hollow prayer Bound by guilt and silent chains We f***t for life suspended in despair [Chorus] Why do we watch while the world is fading Hear her cries in every storm and rain Can we reclaim the love we’ve been trading Before her heart breaks once again [Bridge] Piano keys in haunted halls Resonate a final plea Rise above these iron walls And set our wounded spirits free [Instrumental Break] Soaring strings entwine with distant choir A heartbeat pulse beneath the mourning choir [Chorus (Reprise)] Why do we watch while the world is fading Feel her trembling in the wind’s refrain Can we heal the scars that we’re creating Or leave her broken once again [Outro] In the ashes of a dying song We find the strength to carry on Through the darkness, we belong To the earth we sing so long
