Lyrics [Intro] Roots in rust Soil in chains Mouth of earth Calling names (hey) [Verse 1] They built their thrones Out of our backs Gold in their teeth Ash in our chests I watched them drink From years we bled Now the bark splits The ground wants red [Pre-Chorus] I hear it under my feet Hunger humming through the stone Every ring in the trunk Spells out “overthrow” [Chorus] The tree must be fed With the blood of the tyrants Let it drink their crown Let it choke on their silence I’ll bring the rain I’ll bring the rain Till the roots pull power From their veins [Verse 2] She sings in shards Voice like glass Naming each lord One by one as they pass I carve a vow Into the bark “When their bodies fall We will bloom from the dark” [Pre-Chorus] Hear the roots pulling hard Tearing secrets from their bones Every leaf that unfolds Writes “we’re not alone” (not alone) [Chorus] The tree must be fed With the blood of the tyrants Let it drink their crown Let it choke on their silence I’ll bring the rain I’ll bring the rain Till their empires rot In the mud and the strain [Bridge] [Beat drops into grinding half-time] Kneel Feel the ground open wide (Down, down) Their palaces sink As the soil takes sides My hands Your hands Stained the same We water this grave We baptize the flame (woah) [Final Chorus] The tree must be fed With the blood of the tyrants Every drop they stole Returns in defiance I’ll bring the rain I’ll bring the rain And when the storm is fed It will speak your name The tree must be fed The tree must be fed I’ll bring the rain Till their last crown breaks in the branches’ teeth
