[Verse 1] We raised our towers over graves, Called empty streets a world we saved. The lights came back, the engines turned, But underneath, the old scars burned. We traded freedom for these walls, Called it peace and watched them fall. A perfect sky, a silent town, While those beyond were hunted down. [Pre-Chorus] Still beneath the dust and steel, Something small refused to yield. A little light, a fragile flame, Alive before it had a name. [Chorus] The world ended once, But life did not. Green through the rust, Light through the dark. Let the old machines decay, Let tomorrow find its way. Through every scar, through every loss, Something living carries on. [Verse 2] We made new life from code and light, Then taught it how to live through fights. We gave it orders, gave it pain, And bound our miracles in chains. Still tiny wings crossed through the night, Leading strangers toward the light. What we created to obey Learned to choose another way. [Pre-Chorus] Beyond the towers, past control, Rain kept falling on the stone. Roots were breaking through the ground, Where no trace of life was found. [Chorus] The world ended once, But life did not. Green through the rust, Light through the dark. Let the old machines decay, Let tomorrow find its way. Through every scar, through every loss, Something living carries on. [Bridge] No throne can own the morning. No wall can stop the rain. No weapon lasts forever. No ruin stays the same. Someone has to hold the line. Someone has to clear the way. Not to rule what comes tomorrow— Just to give it one more day. [Final Chorus] The world ended once, But life did not. Flowers in dust, Light through the rust. Let the broken cities fade. Let new footsteps cross their shade. From everything that we have lost, Something living carries on. The world ended once. We did not.
