We Dug Our Graves

[INTRO – Whisper + Horror Violins] (Wind... thunder... children laughing... suddenly silence.) Female (whisper): Can you hear them... The forests... The oceans... They're calling our names... Male (growling): Too late... --- [VERSE 1] Male Steel teeth chewing through ancient skies, Smoke paints halos where the eagle dies. Rivers choking, oceans turning black, No tomorrow... No turning back. Female Every heartbeat cuts another tree, Every dollar buries what's left to breathe. Ash keeps falling like forgotten snow, We lit the match... Now watch it glow. --- [PRE-CHORUS – Overlapping] Female Can't you hear the silence scream? Male Nothing's left beneath the green! Both We built empires from the bones, Now we're dying all alone! --- CHORUS Both (Huge Anthem) We dug our own graves! With the fire we made! Every forest burns away— There's no one left to save! The sky cries blood! The oceans flood! How did we become... The monster in our blood? Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh! This world is screaming— Can you hear enough? --- [VERSE 2] Female Butterflies become a memory, Songs of birds fade silently. Empty nests beneath dead trees, Only ghosts upon the breeze. Male Ice is breaking... Mountains bleed... Everything we never see. Nature begs us... Face to face... We're the plague... The human race. --- [BREAKDOWN] (Violins become frantic. Massive guitars slam in.) Male CUT! THE! ROOTS! WATCH IT FALL! Female No more wolves... No more whales... No more songs... Only wails... Both WE ARE THE STORM! WE ARE THE FIRE! WE FED OUR GREED! OUR OWN DESIRE! --- [BRIDGE – Piano + Choir] Female If tomorrow never comes, Who will sing beneath the sun? Will the children only know Pictures of what used to grow? Male What have we become? Female Can we still return? Both Or is the Earth... Too burned... --- FINAL CHORUS – Double Time We dug our own graves! While pretending we'd be saved! Every heartbeat... Every flame... Every life erased! The forests cried! The oceans died! The stars looked down... Ash filled the sky! Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh! The Earth forgives... But time won't wait! --- [OUTRO – Horror Violins + Choir] Female (softly) Listen... They're gone... Male (deep whisper) Unless... We change... (Heartbeat slows... one final violin note... silence.)
