[Verse 1 – schwere Screams, aber lyrisch]
WE BUILT EMPIRES OUT OF NOTHING BUT HANDS AND HOPE,
stacked stone on stone,
wove futures out of dust and breath.
BUT NOW WE BURN IT ALL
over borders drawn by trembling kings,
over names etched into flags,
over lines no one can see
until blood makes them real.
We forgot the weight of a heartbeat,
the miracle of a single human breath.
---
[Pre-Chorus – verzweifelte Melodie, hohe Screams]
And still we march
into fires we lit ourselves…
---
[Chorus – schwer, melodisch, episch]
WHY DO WE FIGHT OVER NOTHING?
OVER ASHES AND ECHOES OF PRIDE?
WE WERE BORN FROM THE SAME PAIN —
WE BLEED THE SAME RED INSIDE.
WE COULD BE BUILDERS,
WE COULD BE THE LIGHT —
BUT WE’D RATHER TEAR THE SKY IN HALF
JUST TO PROVE WE’RE RIGHT.
---
[Verse 2 – tiefere Growls, massiver Rhythmus]
WE INVENTED FIRE TO SURVIVE —
now we use it to erase each other.
WE CROSSED OCEANS
to understand what lies beyond,
now we drown in hatred
because it’s easier than learning.
There are children who will never know
the weight of peace,
only the sound of sirens
and the trembling in their bones
when the world shakes for reasons
they will never understand.
---
[Pre-Chorus – verzweifelt]
What have we become
when graves outnumber answers?
---
[Chorus – größer, emotionaler]
WHY DO WE FIGHT OVER NOTHING?
OVER ASHES AND ECHOES OF PRIDE?
WE WERE BORN FROM THE SAME PAIN —
WE BLEED THE SAME RED INSIDE.
WE COULD BE BUILDERS,
WE COULD BE THE LIGHT —
BUT WE’D RATHER TEAR THE SKY IN HALF
JUST TO PROVE WE’RE RIGHT.

⭐ [Bridge – melodisch, verzweifelte Screams]
REMEMBER THE HANDS
THAT REACHED FOR YOU IN DARKNESS.
REMEMBER THE VOICES
THAT PULLED YOU FROM THE EDGE.
REMEMBER WHAT WE ARE:
NOT WEAPONS,
NOT FLAGS,
NOT RIVAL BLOODLINES —
JUST LIVING, BREAKABLE HUMAN BEINGS.
---
[Breakdown – Deathcore, schwer, aber bedeutungsvoll]
WE SHARE THE SAME EARTH —
SO WHY DO WE SCORCH IT?!
WE SHARE THE SAME BLOOD —
SO WHY DO WE SPILL IT?!
WE SHARE THE SAME FUTURE —
SO WHY DO WE KILL IT?!
WE…
ARE…
ONE.
---
[Final Chorus – melodisch, breit, emotional]
WHY DO WE FIGHT OVER NOTHING?
OVER ASHES AND ECHOES OF PRIDE?
WE WERE BORN FROM THE SAME PAIN —
WE BLEED THE SAME RED INSIDE.
WE COULD BE BUILDERS,
WE COULD BE THE LIGHT —
BUT IF WE STAND TOGETHER
WE CAN END THIS NIGHT.
---
[Outro – heiser, gebrochen]
We rise…
or we fall…
together.
