Acid Rain

#music #progressiverock [Intro] Silver clouds consume the sun, A blackened dawn has just begun. The city prays beneath the stain, Baptized by acid rain. [Verse 1] Iron flowers bend and bleed, Concrete roots choke every seed. Neon crosses flicker low, Over rivers we no longer know. A child draws skies in shades of blue, But smoke has taught the birds to flee. The towers hum their hollow tune, A hymn for what we used to be. [Pre-Chorus] Hear the thunder split the wire, Hear the saints dissolve in fire. Every drop becomes a blade, Carving names we never saved. [Chorus] Acid rain, fall through the veins, Wash the kingdom from our hands. Acid rain, break every chain, Let the poison feed the land. We built a crown of rust and flame, Then cursed the sky for calling names. Acid rain, acid rain— Nothing sacred will remain. [Verse 2] Under glass, the gardens sleep, Plastic angels cannot weep. Factories breathe their endless prayer, A thousand ghosts inside the air. The clocks all turn in fractured time, Their gears consume the moonless night. We trade the future for a spark, And call the darkness “progress” still. [Bridge] Count the drops. One for the forest. One for the ocean. One for the silence beneath the machines. We were the makers. We were the keepers. We were the storm That swallowed the green. [Final Chorus] Acid rain, fall through the veins, Tear the masks from every face. Acid rain, erase the stains, Or drown us in our own disgrace. From shattered steel, from poisoned ground, A single living voice is found: “Let the earth remember pain— Before it calls the rain again.” [Outro] Silver clouds consume the sun, But somewhere seeds are holding on. Beneath the ash, beneath the stain, Life whispers through the acid rain.
