(Intro) (dark, tense, clean guitar + distant feedback)
Whispers in the wind, hear the past breathe slow
Footprints in the mud where the lost don’t go
Sky hangin’ heavy, taste the iron rain
Every step I take drags a goddamn chain
(Verse 1) (gritty, restrained)
Boots sink deep where the truth got buried
Nerves shot to hell from the shit we carried
Names carved in the back of my mind
Ghosts don’t fade, they just rot behind
(Pre-Chorus) (haunting, building)
You can wash your hands, you can bite your tongue
But the earth don’t care what you’ve become
(Chorus) (explosive, distorted guitars)
Blood on dirt, now it’s turnin’ to grass
Roots drink pain like it’s built to last
Screams in the soil, they won’t disappear
All that we fucked up still lives down here
(Verse 2) (sharp, emotional)
Cold moon stare like a curse unspoken
Every damn vow left cracked and broken
Tried to run but the ground held tight
Truth cuts deep every single night
(Pre-Chorus) (rising tension)
No forgiveness in the sound of rain
Every memory stains the same
(Chorus) (bigger, gang-style energy)
Blood on dirt, now it’s turnin’ to grass
Time can’t fix what the roots still grasp
Echoes live where the bodies fell
Heaven’s silent but the ground knows well
(Bridge) (Half-time, heavy, call & response)
Male: Feel it crawl beneath my skin
Female: You can’t hide from what’s within
Male: Hear that voice from down below
Female: Nothing buried stays that low
(Breakdown) (Aggressive, chugging guitars, screamed layers)
Drag me under, let me see the cost
Every lie and the blood we lost
No more mercy, no compromise
Truth still burns where the conscience dies
(Guitar Solo) (Wild, chaotic, high-energy lead)
(Final Chorus) (Max intensity, stacked vocals)
Blood on dirt, now it’s turnin’ to grass
Past ain’t dead, it’s kickin’ my ass
Scars in the land, scars in the soul
Nothing forgiven, nothing let go
(Outro) (Slow, eerie, clean guitar)
Wind still carries what we can’t confess
Green don’t mean that it’s laid to rest
Look real close through the shifting mass
Blood on dirt… turned into grass
