[Verse 1] Iron rivers boil in the night Factories choke on their own light Heat crawls out of the broken ground Seeds turn black where the rain won’t come down Crops lie dead in the farmer’s hand Dust replaces the promised land Water’s gone, the wells run dry Cities crack beneath the sky [Chorus] The cascade begins, the dominoes fall One by one, we lose it all Heat to drought, drought to flood Blood of the earth runs into blood [Verse 2] Bridges snap when the ground gives way Power lines scream as the lights decay Roads dissolve in the rising sea Nowhere left for the displaced to flee Borders fall and the fences burn Millions walk; the wheels don’t turn Infrastructure buckles, fails One broken link, and the whole chain trails [Chorus] The cascade begins, the dominoes fall One by one, we lose it all Heat to drought, drought to flood Blood of the earth runs into blood [Bridge] They warned of the chains that bind Of risks that leap from mind to mind Sector to sector, shore to shore Nothing stays local anymore [Outro] The earth remembers every scar Every mine and every car No more seasons, only the burn Children of the ash—our turn [Chorus] The cascade begins, the dominoes fall One by one, we lose it all Heat to drought, drought to flood Blood of the earth runs into blood [Bridge] They warned of the chains that bind Of risks that leap from mind to mind Sector to sector, shore to shore Nothing stays local anymore [Outro] The earth remembers every scar Every mine and every car No more seasons, only the burn Children of the ash—our turn
