Lyrics

Verse 1

This world was golden once,

sunrise dancing on the water,

children running through the fields

like the earth was theirs to keep.

But shadows started growing,

men with pockets deep as oceans,

turning every living thing

into something they could own.

Pre‑Chorus

And the breeze don’t feel the same now,

too much smoke in the sky to breathe.

Every truth gets twisted sideways

when power decides what’s real.

Chorus

Oh, this beautiful world on the line,

falling under hands that only take.

Greed rising like a tide with no moon,

washing everything we love away.

But the heartbeat of the people still strong,

and the roots run deeper than their lies.

Even when the mountains crumble down,

the spirit of the earth won’t die.

Verse 2

They carve the land for profit,

call destruction “just the cost,”

build their kingdoms out of concrete

on the backs of what we lost.

They poison rivers for a dollar,

cut the forests for a claim,

and the ones who hold the power

never feel the weight of blame.

Pre‑Chorus

But the drums keep warning softly,

echo rolling through the night.

Every voice they try to silence

comes back louder in the light.

Chorus

Oh, this beautiful world on the line,

falling under hands that only take.

Greed rising like a tide with no moon,

washing everything we love away.

But the heartbeat of the people still strong,

and the roots run deeper than their lies.

Even when the mountains crumble down,

the spirit of the earth won’t die.

Dub Bridge

Too much power…

Too much greed…

But the earth still breathing…

Still planting seeds…

Bassline rumbling like a warning,

truth shaking through the ground,

’cause every empire built on taking

always falls without a sound.
