### Verse 1 *(Fast metalcore riff)* Black veins across the daylight sky, Steel wings drawing their alibis. The forests fell without a sound, Server towers claim the ground. Trading roots for endless streams, Feeding ghosts inside machines. Every river redirected, Every warning disconnected. The skyline burns behind the glass, Progress moving way too fast. --- ### Pre-Chorus We built a kingdom from the ashes, Called it evolution. Now the silence grows louder Than the revolution. --- ### Chorus *(Huge cinematic clean vocals)* I'm the skywatcher, Watching the horizon bleed. Every cloud a monument To our endless need. I'm the skywatcher, Standing where the forests stood. The machine keeps growing, But it never understood. The living world is fading, While the engines sing. We're chasing our ascension, As everything is collapsing. --- ### Verse 2 *(Aggressive screams, faster drums)* Chemical crosses overhead, Drawing maps above the dead. The rivers cool the giant heart, While nature's torn apart. Concrete flowers never die, They just darken every sky. Every answer bought and sold, Every future growing cold. Can you hear the earth beneath? Grinding through its broken teeth. --- ### Pre-Chorus We fed the hunger. We crowned the beast. Now the machine Will never sleep. --- ### Chorus *(Bigger, layered harmonies)* I'm the skywatcher, Watching the horizon bleed. Every cloud a monument To our endless need. I'm the skywatcher, Standing where the forests stood. The machine keeps growing, But it never understood. The living world is fading, While the engines sing. We're chasing our ascension, As everything is collapsing. --- ### Breakdown *(Half-time, crushing chugs)* FORESTS... TRADED FOR SERVERS. RIVERS... FED THE MACHINE. SKIES... MARKED FOR EXPERIMENTS. THE MACHINE KEPT GROWING. THE LIVING WORLD... DID NOT. *(Massive drop)* DID NOT. --- ### Bridge *(Cinematic orchestra, emotional clean vocals)* If progress is a road, Why does it feel like a grave? If this is paradise, Tell me what we had to save. The stars still shine above us, But we don't look anymore. We're staring at reflections While the planet goes to war. --- ### Final Chorus *(Huge orchestral climax)* I'm the skywatcher, Last witness to the change. Everything we built Feels suddenly so strange. I'm the skywatcher, Watching all the seasons fade. The earth keeps calling out, But we've forgotten what she said. The living world is fading, While the engines sing. We're chasing our ascension... As everything... Is collapsing. --- ### Outro *(Slow breakdown + choir)* The machine kept growing... The living world... Did not.
