The Ground Still Burns

Lyrics

[Intro] Beneath the stone, the pressure wakes A buried engine starts to shake [Verse 1] Black water climbs the broken stair The iron door gives up its prayer No breath can pass the walls below No hand can halt the undertow [Pre-Chorus] The earth splits wide The sealed things rise [Chorus] Drag the buried weight into the day Break the lock and tear the roots away From the deep, the old hunger returns Under a sky of ash, the ground still burns [Verse 2] A rusted bell tolls out of time Its cracked note cuts through dust and grime The river takes the names we gave And grinds them smooth beneath the cave [Pre-Chorus] The earth splits wide The sealed things rise [Chorus] Drag the buried weight into the day Break the lock and tear the roots away From the deep, the old hunger returns Under a sky of ash, the ground still burns [Bridge] Stone on stone Bone on bone No sun reaches what we own No road back No reprieve Hear the buried kingdom breathe [Final Chorus] Drag the buried weight into the day Break the lock and tear the roots away From the deep, the old hunger returns Under a sky of ash, the ground still burns [Outro] The ground still burns The ground still burns
