THE GROUND REMEMBERS

Water on the stairs... Ash on the glass... Stone under the street... Nothing stays still... The ground... Remembers... [Verse 1] Water fills the basement stairs, Ash lies thick on broken signs. Wind has torn the roofs apart, White dust covers power lines. Cracks run deep beneath the road, Red sand burns across the lane. Far below the sleeping city, Earth collects the marks we made. [Pre-Chorus] It does not hate and does not speak, It moves beneath our hands. Every scar we leave behind Runs deeper through the land. Raise the light Through the dust We rebuild [DROP 1] THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Every name! THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Every flame! Rise up! Stand strong! Light returns to broken streets! THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Stone and sea! THE GROUND REMEMBERS! You and me! Hold on! Move on! [Verse 2] Pumps run hard through flooded rooms, Shovels scrape the ash away. Hands in lime and wet cement Set new window frames by day. Generators cut the dark, One by one the houses glow. Boats push out from broken harbours, Children hear the water go. [Pre-Chorus] We are small beneath the sky, No wall can hold the rain. Still we clear the streets at dawn, Still we build again. [Build 2] Ground remembers... We remember... THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Raise the light! Build the walls Through the broken night! Rise up! Stand strong! Every window burns again! THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Hear the cry! Black tide, white tide, Burning sky! Hold on! Move on! THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Stone and flame! Every heart and siren Calls our name! Black tide... White tide... Fault line... Fireline... Red wind... Skyfall... Magma vein... Morning comes... We remain... Water is rising... Ash is falling... Stone is moving... Dawn is rising... [FINAL DROP] THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Raise the light! We return Through the shattered night! We are alive! We survive! One earth! One cry! Hands rebuild Beneath the sky! THE GROUND REMEMBERS! Hear our sound! Not above it— On this ground! [Crowd] The ground! Remembers! [Outro] Ash... Rain... Stone... Light... We remain...
