Kingdoms Of The Dust (Live) Feat. Otis Silverton

SWBEATS @ SUNO • 2026 • 😎 Shadows stretch across the shattered stone Where towering monuments once proudly shone We trade our peaceful fields for bitter ash Igniting futures in a blinding flash What is the prize when every city falls And silence echoes through the ruined halls A senseless quarrel for a piece of ground Where only grief and endless graves are found The drums of conflict beat a hollow rhythm While innocent lives fall victims to the schism Why do we choose the path of endless pain Tell me why the rivers run so red Why do we build these kingdoms of the dead We burn our homes to win a broken crown And watch humanity come crashing down There must be another way to heal the dawn Before the final fragile hope is gone The diplomats debate in gilded rooms While distant families sweep the dust of tombs A paper treaty signed in fading ink Pushing the planet closer to the brink We share one earth beneath the vast skyline Yet draw these borders in a bloodied line How many mothers have to weep in vain To prove a point that brings us nothing gained The cycle turns and leaves us all forsaken Another generation lost and taken When will we learn to break this heavy chain Tell me why the rivers run so red Why do we build these kingdoms of the dead We burn our homes to win a broken crown And watch humanity come crashing down There must be another way to heal the dawn Before the final fragile hope is gone No victories remain in piles of dust Only the echoes of our broken trust
