[Intro] [Dark atmospheric synths, distant radio noise, low heartbeat percussion] [Verse 1] We broke the towers at the edge of dawn Pulled every silver root from the lawn The satellites burned like a second sun And nobody knew what we'd become We left our names in the server rain Turned off the eyes that watched every vein Now the streets grow green through the concrete bones And the wind is learning the shape of our homes [Pre-Chorus] Come down from the neon Lay your weapons aside There's a river beneath us And the river survived [Chorus] Go where the wild things remember Go where the black earth breathes Leave the gods in their circuits Leave the ghosts in their screens We were born before the signal We can live beyond the wire Let the forests take the cities Let the old world catch fire [Verse 2] The children have never seen a loading screen They chase moths through the ruins at seventeen An orchard grows where the data center stood And rain falls clean through the neighborhood We carry no passwords, no crowns, no keys Only scars from the age of machines At night we hear something under the ground A heartbeat the network could never shut down [Pre-Chorus] Come down from the towers Let the silence begin There's a pulse in the soil There's a world under skin [Chorus] Go where the wild things remember Go where the black earth breathes Leave the gods in their circuits Leave the ghosts in their screens We were born before the signal We can live beyond the wire Let the forests take the cities Let the old world catch fire [Bridge] [Music strips down to acoustic guitar and voice] No more voices from heaven No more eyes in the rain No machine telling us Who we are supposed to be again We thought we needed forever We thought we could outrun the grave But the oldest thing on this planet Was the thing that came to save us [Final Chorus] [Full band, huge drums, layered vocals] Go where the wild things remember Go where the deep roots run Leave the throne to the thunder Leave the future to the sun We were born before the signal We will die beyond the wire Let the forests take the cities Let the green world rise higher [Outro] [Organic percussion, wind, distant choir] And if the old gods awaken Let them search through the trees We won't answer their calling We belong to the leaves We belong to the leaves [End]
