We Were the Forgotten [D2] #NDC_Bingo

[Verse 1] Ash falls like snow on poisoned ground, The sky is cracked, no birds, no sound. The sun is veiled in green decay, Hope packed its bags and ran away. [Verse 2] Steel and silence, sirens fade, A broken Earth we didn’t save. We watched the towers rot with pride, While Tiberium bloomed outside. [Pre-Chorus] They called it progress—so divine, But we were buried in the mines. [Chorus] We were the forgotten, left to rust, Turned to dust beneath their trust. We cried in ruins, died in shade, While kings in orbit watched us fade. They drew the lines in ash and flame— But no one ever spoke our names. [Verse 3] I held a child once, born too thin, Its breath a whisper lost in wind. They said GDI would cleanse the blight, But all I saw was endless night. [Bridge] Nod rose in fire, GDI in ice, Neither could pay the sacrifice. Between their gods, their false crusades, We lived unseen in dead arcades. [Chorus] We were the forgotten, left to rust, Turned to dust beneath their trust. We cried in ruins, died in shade, While kings in orbit watched us fade. They drew the lines in ash and flame— But no one ever spoke our names. [Verse 4] And still we walk, though faith is gone, With bitter breath, we carry on. Our ghosts now haunt the Tiber seas— The price of mankind’s last disease. [Pre-Chorus] They called it future—gleamed and bright, But left us blind beneath the light. [Chorus] We were the forgotten, left to rust, Turned to dust beneath their trust. We cried in ruins, died in shade, While kings in orbit watched us fade. They drew the lines in ash and flame— But no one ever spoke our names.
