[verse] Ji arda was a wonder a green world ringed in blue It turned into a schoolhouse for everybody passing through [Bridge] Both sides sent their students to study under open skies nobody thought it could happen no one caught the smoke in time [Pre-Chorus] a planet built on learning a planet known by name a planet cut to blackened cinder by one side's arrogance and shame [Chorus] Ji arda, shining wonder Ji arda, now a wound and sorrow Ji arda, where wild things once ran free Ji arda, now ash is all we know [Verse] The trees were legends thick trunks, sky-high crowns standing there for ages then they burned in one white sound [Pre-Chorus] white as a lab door slammed in winter white as noon through a cracked visor their bark went bright, then vanished their leaves were cinders in the burn the beauty turned to charcoal their roots became like dust in the wave [Chorus] Ji arda, shining wonder Ji arda, now a wound and our sorrow Ji arda, where wild things once ran free Ji arda, now ash is all we know
