[Intro – low throat singing] The soil is whispering… [Verse 1] We walk upon the silence Of everything we burned Every step we take is heavier With the weight of what we’ve learned The ground beneath our feet Remembers every lie It carries all the bodies Of the futures we let die [Pre-Chorus] It speaks so softly We pretend we cannot hear But the voice is growing louder With every passing year [Chorus] Whispers from the soil Are calling out our name Telling us the story Of the world we set in flame We took and took and took again Until there was no more Now the earth is whispering What we can’t ignore [Verse 2] We poisoned all the rivers We silenced every song We turned the living garden Into concrete and neon Our children will inherit The ashes of our greed The soil keeps on whispering The warnings we won’t heed [Pre-Chorus] It speaks so softly We pretend we cannot hear But the voice is growing louder Year after year [Chorus] Whispers from the soil Are calling out our name Telling us the story Of the world we set in flame We took and took and took again Until there was no more Now the earth is whispering What we can’t ignore [Bridge – slow, intimate] We thought we were the owners We thought we were the kings But the soil only laughs At all our broken things It waits with endless patience For the day we finally see That we never owned this planet The planet owned we [Final Chorus – heavier, more desperate] Whispers from the soil Are screaming out our name Telling us the ending Of this selfish game We took and took and took again Until nothing remained Now the earth is whispering… And we are to blame [Outro – fading throat singing] The soil is whispering… The soil is whispering… We should have listened…
