Ashes of Greed

Trevor's Debut Song that made him known. As a nature loving Canadian it always angered him how big Corporations treated the Forests he so much enjoyed hiking through. Instead of becoming an Activist on the Street, he picked up a Mic and got to work. ===================================================================== Chainsaw symphonies echo through the pines Boardrooms cheer as the forest dies Green turned grey with every deal they seal Smoke rising from what they claim is real Billion-dollar lies carved into the bark No roots left, just trademarks in the dark They paved the Eden, sold the dirt in shares While the skies choke on stockholder prayers Ash falls like snow on the village roof Burnt-out futures, the profit is proof They drink from rivers soaked in flame Calling it growth, playing the game Ashes of greed, fall from your throne Ruthless empire built on bone You traded nature for golden chains Now drown in fire, feel the pain Corporate locusts feed without shame Every tree a victim, every mountain maimed "Progress" whispers through a toxic breeze While the lungs of earth collapse on their knees But we are the roar beneath the silence Rising through smog, born from defiance With voices forged in fury and blood We strike back from the heart of the mud We are the forest haunting your dreams Voices of wolves and shattered streams Your towers fall, your empires bleed Crushed by the wrath of the world you deceived Let the last deal burn with the final tree And brand their greed in eulogy We’ll light the stage with a rebel spark And sing for forests left in the dark Ashes of greed, fall from your throne Ruthless empire built on bone You traded nature for golden chains Now drown in fire, feel the pain
