Wasteland of Being — [Melodeath x Symphonic Doom Power Ballad]

[Intro: Distorted electric guitar chugging, syncopated double-kick drums] [Verse 1: Melodic male vocals with slight grit] We pave the earth, we choke the sky Our hands build tombs where forests lie The rhythm's lost, the pulse is weak A generation blind to nature's speak [Pre-Chorus: Guitar riff intensifies, snare rolls] The machines will save us But steel can't sing and code can't bleed We traded roots for wires and greed And now the world is out of sync [Chorus: Full band, soaring vocals, open power chords] Wake the earth, the wasteland calls The cosmos hums through crumbling walls Will we dance to the ancient beat Or kneel to the solar sleet? [Verse 2: Bass-driven groove, palm-muted guitar] The rivers weep in chemical streams Our children dream in VR schemes The stars still turn, the tides still rise But we're too numb to hear their cries [Bridge: Drums drop out, clean arpeggiated guitar, atmospheric pads] The earth remembers what we forgot The discipline of dawn, the law of rock To heal the wound we must return And let the old world's wisdom burn [Chorus: Heavy drums re-enter, layered vocal harmonies] Wake the earth, the wasteland breathes The cosmos waits beyond the machines Will we rise with the sun's first light Or fade into the endless night? [Outro: Aggressive growled vocals, breakdown with heavy syncopation] Wake the earth! Erase the path of gods! Simple souls of power, like the hollowed pods! [Final sustained guitar feedback, abrupt silence]
