[Intro] [Acoustic guitar solo] [Verse 1] Infernos blaze, consuming land, Our nation’s breath, in flames, unmanned, And further north, the waters stand, Drowning hopes in a flooded strand. I'm grounded here, a witness still, A fractured mind, a heavy will, I can't confront this trio’s thrill, But their safety haunts me, a ghostly chill. [Chorus] I thought you’d see behind the veil, To find the fight within my eyes, But your vision's frail and stale, And so I scream, three hidden cries. But they’re counting, Yeah they’re counting, Forever counting… [Acoustic guitar solo] [Verse 2] While fires rage and waters swell, I wrestle thoughts, an inner hell, The sky is smoke, a mournful bell, Lost within this world’s farewell. Endless news, a hollow drone, You're scripting stories, hearts of stone, Can't you feel I'm merely flesh and bone, In this tempest, hope's unknown. [Chorus] I thought you’d see behind the veil, To find the fight within my eyes, But your vision's frail and stale, And so I scream, three hidden cries. But they’re counting, Yeah they’re counting, Forever counting… [Acoustic guitar solo] [Bridge] As cities sleep, we lie awake, In fragile hopes our ground won’t quake, That flames and floods won’t rip our hearts again. again We’re voiceless, bound by fate's cruel game, But if you’d hear, we’re not the same, In unity, this world could mend. [Chorus] I thought you’d see behind the veil, To find the fight within my eyes, But your vision's frail and stale, And so I scream, three hidden cries. But they’re counting, Yeah they’re counting, Forever counting… [Acoustic guitar solo] [Soft Outro] If you could look inside, And truly see, We could stop counting, Forever counting. [End] [End]
