[Verse 1] Beneath the endless pine of night The forest breathes in ancient light A voice asleep in soil and stone Older than all we have known Rivers whisper nameless gods Through roots that move beneath the ground No human throne, no fire of man Only life that understands [Pre-Chorus] Hear the forest calling low Through the silence we let go Every shadow, every fall Remembers once we were all [Choir Cue] (Aeterna terra…) (Aeterna vita…) [Chorus — vowel stretched / anthem flow] We kneel before the ancient green The world we never truly seen Where roots become cathedral walls And nature answers every call We are the dust of living time The breath between the earth and sky No empire, no forgotten name Only the flame that still remains The old god wakes beneath the soil No voice of man, no human coil Only storm, only root, only rain Calling us home again [Verse 2 — smoother phrasing] Stone cities fade into dust Iron dreams return to rust But here the green remembers all Even names we tried to call The wolves become the silent hymn The deer become the morning prayer And in the dark beneath the ferns A deeper voice is always there [Pre-Chorus] Every branch rewrites our name Every stone forgets our pain Nature never asks for grace Only endless flowing space [Choir Expansion] (Aeterna terra… rise again…) (Root and river… one refrain…) (We were never gone…) [Bridge — open vowel focus] If we are born from borrowed breath Then earth is all that never ends No dominion, no command Only forest understands Let every kingdom fade to green Let iron dreams dissolve unseen We were never above the world Only leaves within its dream [Guitar Solo — phrasing guidance] [Final Chorus — maximum vowel resonance] We are the green, we are the stone We are the earth that calls us home No beginning, no decay Only life that will not fade We are the root beneath the throne We are the silence turned to tone No ending buried in the dust Only the forest in us The old god lives in every breath No line between life and death We were never lost, never alone We were the forest all along [Final Choir Outro — open vowels only] (Aeterna…) (Terra…) (Aeterna…) (We return…) (Forever green…)
