The Soil Remembers

V4.5+

[Verse 1 – Soft, ethereal] I woke with the dust in my lungs, A name spoken only by ghosts. My hands still knew the grip of blades But not the warmth they once held close. A farmhouse flickers in my mind, The quiet laughter of a child, Now drowned beneath the silent weight Of years the stars forgot to count. [Verse 2 – Flowing like a confessional] I was love, I was warmth, Before the Fel kissed me blind. Now I haunt this breathing world, A relic out of time. The sky was green, now it’s blue. The fires have turned to dew. And I don’t know this peace… But it remembers me. [Pre-Chorus – Tension rising] I gave everything — Flesh, hope, name, For a war that left me in chains. They dream in comfort, While I… remain. [Chorus – Surging with pain] Take me back to the soil, To the hands that knew me. Let me break in the silence, Where the wild things grew me. If this is peace… then why does it scream? If I survived… Then why do I bleed? [Verse 3 – Muted, whispered] I heard a worgen laugh with a child, I saw elves dance under moonlight. And I remembered how my wife once sang, Before the war… before the bite. My blades are dull with memory, My eyes glow with what I’ve lost. You call it victory. But do you know the cost? [Bridge – Harsh/Spoken with ambient chaos beneath] This world is loud in ways I can’t feel. Too bright. Too warm. Too… healed. You built this garden from our pain, While we rotted beneath the rain. [Screamed Section – Total release] I WAS A MAN! I HAD A NAME! YOU FORGOT US! BURIED IN FLAME! I HELD THE GATES! I BLED FOR YOU! NOW YOU LAUGH… AS IF YOU NEVER KNEW. [Final Chorus – Soft, broken] Take me back to the soil, Where my ghosts still wait. Let the roots pull me under, Let the world recreate… If there’s a heaven for the damned, Let it look like home. Where I can be More than bone. [Outro – Minimal, fading] The soil remembers. Even if you don’t.
