(Verse 1 — Spoken with firmness, low-pulse synth backdrop) You built your fortress on the shifting sand, Demanding permanence from hollow land. Now timber, glass, and iron start to slide— Docks and machinery swallowed by the tide. (Chorus) WE OVERRAN THE SHORE, WE FORCED THE TIDE! NO WALL OF STONE CAN KEEP THE TRUTH OUTSIDE! THE LEASE IS ENDED, EVERY CLAIM UNDONE— WE OVERRAN THE WATERS, NOW WE'RE DONE! (Verse 2 — Low, detached, legato phrases) The hulls of boats, the skeletons of cars, Drowning the rivers underneath the stars. Every foundation, every broken home, Choking the current in a rising foam. (Chorus) WE OVERRAN THE SHORE, WE FORCED THE TIDE! NO WALL OF STONE CAN KEEP THE TRUTH OUTSIDE! THE LEASE IS ENDED, EVERY CLAIM UNDONE— WE OVERRAN THE WATERS, NOW WE'RE DONE! (Outro — Stripped back to a single, slow pulse synth, fading into absolute silence) The water settles. The records fade. The ground remembers What man delayed. (A single low note held, then abrupt, total silence)
