[Verse]
The sky once danced in quiet blue
Now storms arrive with no excuse
The fields are cracked, the rivers fade
Where once the children's laughter played
[Verse]
The seasons shift, no longer kind
The soil forgets what it can’t find
And cities breathe in heavy haze
As forests burn in silent praise
[Chorus,]
We carved our names in dust and flame
And thought the Earth would stay the same
But every breath and every fire
Feeds the ghost of our desire
[Verse]
The ocean rose, and still we slept
As coral dreams in silence wept
We traded truth for fleeting gain
And let the ice dissolve in vain
[Verse]
We chased the stars to leave the ground
While warnings sang without a sound
We built a world on borrowed time
And watched it age before its prime
[Chorus,]
We carved our names in dust and flame
And thought the Earth would stay the same
But every breath and every fire
Feeds the ghost of our desire
[Bridge]
Will you hear the roots that cry?
Will you change before we die?
Or will the past remain unkind—
A heat we left, a world behind?
[Chorus,]
We carved our names in dust and flame
And now the Earth won’t speak the same
But still she turns, beneath our crime
And hopes we learn… this time
