[Arabic Vocal Ad-lib] (Intro: Atmospheric Cello and Low Percussion Thumps) (Verse 1) The foundations groan beneath the weight of the sky They told us the storm would drain the color from the eye They built walls of glass to see if we’d shatter But they forgot that fire only makes the iron harder The dust in the air is just the history we shed We’re walking through the echoes of the words they said. (Pre-Chorus) The horizon is shifting, the ground starts to slide But I’m not a vessel that’s looking for a tide I am the anchor, I am the stone I’ve learned how to breathe in the deep all alone. (Chorus) We are the roots that the mountain couldn't break We are the silence that follows the quake Though the wind screams a name that we used to know We’re standing where the bitterest of winters grow Solid and certain, through the smoke and the gray We are still here at the end of the day. (Verse 2) They count our scars like they’re some kind of debt But every line is a promise we haven’t broken yet The shadows are long but they don’t have a voice To stay in the light is a singular choice So let the rain fall until the rivers run dry You can’t wash the stars from the back of the sky. (Chorus) We are the roots that the mountain couldn't break We are the silence that follows the quake Though the wind screams a name that we used to know We’re standing where the bitterest of winters grow Solid and certain, through the smoke and the gray We are still here at the end of the day. (Bridge: Drums intensify, strings soar) It’s not just survival, it’s a flame in the dark It’s the soul finding home in a single spark You can’t bury a spirit that was born in the deep We’re the promise that the morning will keep! (Guitar/Orchestral Solo - High Intensity) (Final Chorus) We are the roots that the mountain couldn't break We are the silence that follows the quake Though the wind screams a name that we used to know We’re standing where the bitterest of winters grow Solid and certain, through the smoke and the gray We are still here at the end of the day. (Outro) Still here. Unbroken. The mountain may move... But we are still here. (Fade out with a final, deep drum beat)
