[Intro — Clean Guitar, Distant Wind]

[Verse 1 — Male Vocal: Piney]
The deer aren't crossing by the creek.
The birds have left the wire.
There's something missing from the night.
No smoke, but I smell fire.

The trail I've walked a thousand times
Feels different underneath.
The ground is holding something back.
The wind can barely breathe.

[Verse 2 — Female Vocal: Akida]
I feel a tremor far below,
Where we concealed the door.
A whisper moving through the roots
That wasn't there before.

The seal remains. The path is closed.
The secret's buried deep.
But something searches through the dark
For what we swore to keep.

[Chorus — Male and Female Duet]
The forest knows.
Before the thunder rolls.
Before the first tree falls,
Before the damage shows.

There's something coming through the night.
I feel it moving close.
We buried what the world can't find.
And still the forest knows.

[Verse 3 — Male Vocal: Piney]
I've heard the storms roll off the coast.
I've seen the lightning crawl.
But this ain't weather moving in.
It's something else entirely.

There's fresh-cut timber by the road.
New tracks across the sand.
Somebody's drawing battle lines
Across our piece of land.

[Verse 4 — Female Vocal: Akida]
They're measuring the wilderness,
But not the thing they seek.
They cannot hear the buried song
That hums beneath our feet.

I don't know who has sent them here
Or what they understand.
But if they reach the sleeping gate,
They'll tear apart this land.

[Chorus — Male and Female Duet]
The forest knows.
Before the thunder rolls.
Before the first tree falls,
Before the damage shows.

There's something coming through the night.
I feel it moving close.
We buried what the world can't find.
And still the forest knows.

[Bridge — Female Vocal: Akida]
Some doors were never meant for kings.
Some truths were never sold.
The roots remember everything
The earth was made to hold.

[Bridge — Male Vocal: Piney]
Then let 'em bring their iron teeth.
Let 'em come and try.
They'll find there's more beneath these trees
Than something they can buy.

[Final Chorus — Male and Female Duet]
The forest knows.
Before the thunder rolls.
Before the first tree falls,
Before the damage shows.

Whatever comes, we hold the line.
Whatever breaks, we won't.
They think the woods are standing still.
But every root below them knows.

[Outro — Male Vocal: Piney]
You hear that?

[Instrumental — Distant Mechanical Rumbling]

[Outro — Female Vocal: Akida]
They're getting closer.
