Echoes of the Earth

[Intro – brooding synths and distant guitar feedback] Can you see the planet crying out tonight [Verse 1] Waters rise beneath the poisoned sky Forests fade where children used to play Ashes fall, the silent lullaby We turned our backs and watched the light decay [Pre-Chorus] I feel the fracture running through the ground A thousand echoes begging to be found [Chorus] What about Earth can you hear her call What about hope will we let it fall Torn apart by every selfish blow We’ve got to change before it’s all gone [Rap Verse – half-time b**t with glitchy electronics] Broken concrete cracks beneath our feet Smokestacks c***e the air we try to breathe They sell us lies packaged in their gold While the truth burns beneath our skin untold Rise up unite feel the fury in the street Refuse their p****n and refuse defeat We are the spark that breaks their hardened will Together we rebuild what they break still [Verse 2 – heavy guitar riff returns] Glaciers weep into the grieving seas Species vanish in a silent scream Promises fade with every dying tree Can’t you feel the tremors of our dream [Pre-Chorus] Hear the heartbeat of a world in pain One voice rising through the falling rain [Chorus] What about Earth can you hear her call What about hope will we let it fall Torn apart by every selfish blow We’ve got to change before it’s all gone [Bridge – soaring guitars and layered vocals] We’ll rise through fire we’ll stand through fear Our voices shouting so the world can hear Break these chains of apathy and greed Unite as one to plant the future’s seed [Chorus – with doubled vocals and synth accents] What about Earth can you hear her call What about hope will we let it fall Torn apart by every selfish blow We’ve got to change before it’s all gone [Outro – whispered over fading instrumentation] Can you hear the call of the Earth… it’s calling us home
