[Intro – very soft, almost whispered] Can you hear us… Or did we fade too far… [Verse 1] We burned the forests down to silence Turned rivers into graves of dust We traded life for blind compliance And called it progress, called it “just” Children crying in the shadows Invisible, unnamed, alone While towers rise above their sorrow Built on hearts we’ve overthrown [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] Tell me… did we lose our way? Or did we choose to look away? [Chorus – powerful, emotional] Oh God… can you hear us now? We’re screaming through the fire somehow The sky is falling to the ground And we don’t even hear the sound Oh God… what have we become? We turned our backs, we chose to run If there’s a way to turn around Tell us how… tell us now [Verse 2] Oceans choking on our plastic Creatures fading, one by one Seasons shifting, growing frantic Winter burns beneath the sun People lost outside the system No one sees them, no one cares We built a world that never listens To broken voices in despair [Pre-Chorus – more intense] Is there mercy left for us? Or did we break too much… too much… [Chorus – bigger] Oh God… can you hear us now? We’re drowning in the noise we’ve found The truth is buried underground And no one dares to call it out Oh God… what have we done? We killed the earth to feel like gods If there’s a chance to heal somehow Show us now… show us how [Bridge – explosion / gospel style] We see the ashes in the rain We feel the weight, we feel the pain We hear the silence screaming loud Is this the end… is this the end now?! (Choir feel) Save us now! Save us now! From the lies we’re living out! Save us now! Save us now! Before there’s nothing left of us! [Final Chorus – maximum intensity] OH GOD… CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?! WE’RE FALLING, WE DON’T KNOW HOW THE EARTH IS BREAKING, PIECE BY PIECE AND ALL WE WANTED… WAS MORE, NOT PEACE OH GOD… DON’T TURN AWAY WE’RE BEGGING YOU, WE’RE HERE TO STAY IF THERE’S A WAY TO TURN THIS AROUND DON’T LET US DROWN… DON’T LET US DROWN [Outro – stripped, fragile] Can you hear us… Before it’s gone…
