Smoke still lingers in the air From fires we swore we'd never light Ashes fall like frozen rain Another grave beneath the night They said we’d change – they always do But silence knows what silence knew We bleed the same, we speak of peace Then dig the bones and start the feast No lessons learned, no soul redeemed Just broken vows and failed beliefs We write in blood, we burn, return And wonder why the embers churn The walls are carved with names of shame A thousand kings, they played the game They wore their flags, they sang their songs But every note still ended wrong Beneath the dirt, the truth still cries But we just echo louder lies We build on bones, forget the screams Then chase the ghosts inside our dreams No lessons learned, just deeper graves New flags to fly, new thrones to save The wheel still turns, the fire returns And still the world… just never learns Dig the trench, plant the fear Watch it bloom, year by year Call it truth, call it fate But it’s just hate. It’s always hate. No lessons learned, no peace to gain The scars remain, we just rename The end was written long before We ever dared to hope for more
