Verse 1 Eyes fixed on kingdoms made of dust, Trading eternity for rust. Building towers to the sky, Never asking "why?" Comfort wrapped around the chain, Pleasure masking deeper pain. Every idol dressed in gold, Every heart already sold. They call this freedom. They call this life. But they're dancing on the edge of a knife. Pre-Chorus Blind to the warning, Deaf to the call. Building their monuments Before the fall. Chorus (Massive cinematic clean vocals) Earth dweller, Your kingdom fades away. Every crown you worship Turns to ash someday. Earth dweller, Can't you hear the heavens cry? You gained the whole world, But your soul is running dry. The shadows keep calling, But the truth remains. Earth dweller, You're living in chains. Verse 2 The merchants sell another dream, The beast refines the machine. Every promise hides a price, Every bargain costs a life. Drunk on power, blind with pride, Chasing things that never satisfy. Their names are written in the sand, Washed away by a greater hand. The clock keeps ticking, The signs unfold. But they still worship silver and gold. Pre-Chorus Blind to the warning, Deaf to the call. Building their monuments Before the fall. Chorus (Bigger, layered orchestration) Earth dweller, Your kingdom fades away. Every crown you worship Turns to ash someday. Earth dweller, Can't you hear the heavens cry? You gained the whole world, But your soul is running dry. The shadows keep calling, But the truth remains. Earth dweller, You're living in chains. Breakdown (Crushing half-time chugs) YOU CHOSE THE DUST. YOU CHOSE THE THRONE. YOU CHOSE THE WORLD. AND LOST YOUR SOUL. (Heavier) TEMPORARY KINGS. TEMPORARY GODS. TEMPORARY GLORY. ETERNAL LOSS. Bridge (Orchestral build, clean vocals) What will remain When the mountains shake? What will survive When the heavens break? The kingdoms of men Will all disappear. Only the truth Will remain here. Final Chorus (Huge cinematic climax) Earth dweller, Lift your eyes and see. There is a greater kingdom Than what this world can be. Earth dweller, The door is open wide. The chains can be broken, The blind can be given sight. When the darkness falls And the final trumpet sounds, Will you stand with heaven... Or be buried with the ground? Outro (Choir and breakdown fading together) Earth dweller... The dust returns to dust. Earth dweller... Choose what lasts.
