[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Dark Organ Swells, Driving Bass, Clean Guitar Echoes, Rising Synth, Rolling Drums]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
One event…
(Becomes another)
Heat and smoke…
(Feed each other)
[Refrain]
Oh, yes
(They’re together)
Not a matter of whether
(That’s the weather)
Choke on the smoke
(Defeat by heat)
When it rains it pours
(When they reign we’re poor)
Hard to ignore
(… any more)
[Verse 1]
Heat dries forests to the bone
Wildfires spread on winds… a new home
Smoke climbs high into the sky
Carried where the jet streams fly
Cities far from any flame
Wake beneath a smoky frame
Breathing what they cannot see
Connected by the atmosphere
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, dear (… I fear…)
Heat and drought
(Feed the flame)
Smoke and wind
(Play the game)
[Chorus]
They’re together
(A pair)
Changing weather
(Fills the air)
Fire burns
(Rivers rise)
One disaster
(Multiplies)
Oh, yes…
(They’re together)
Now… and forever?
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Heavy Bass Groove, Organ Chords, Driving Drums, Synth Wind Effects]
[Verse 2]
A heat dome locks the sky in place
Smoke hangs like a giant haze
Storms arrive with heavier rain
Flooding follows fire’s reign
One extreme gives birth to two
Then another pushes through
Different headlines every day
Different faces… same display
[Pre-Chorus]
What stands
(All alone)
Which change
(Hasn’t grown)
[Bridge]
Flood and fire
(Hand in hand)
Heat and drought
(Cross the land)
Storm and smoke
(Share the stage)
Energy writes
(Another page)
Feedback follows
(Feedback grows)
Where it ends…
(Nobody knows)
[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Climate change…
…isn’t one disaster…
… after another…
…working together.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, yes
(They’re together)
Not a matter of whether
(That’s the weather)
Choke on the smoke
(Defeat by heat)
When it rains it pours
(When they reign we’re poor)
Hard to ignore
(… any more)
Heat and flame
(Flood and rain)
Different names
(The same chain)
They’re together…
(More than ever…)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Deep Organ Fade, Wind and Rain Effects]
They’re together…
Whether…
…we’re ready or not.
