[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Warm Acoustic Guitar Strum, Soft Piano Chords, Gentle Wind FX, Slow Organic Percussion]
Ash still drifting through the air
Echoes of what used to be there
Silent earth beneath the smoke
Waiting for a hand to cope
[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Fingerpicked Guitar, Subtle Bassline, Light Kick Drum, Ambient Pad]
You watched it all collapse in flame
Called it change, called it a name
But nothing grows from empty pride
If nothing lives on either side
Every ending leaves a ground
Where new beginnings can be found
Perhaps ruin has a role
If you let it make you whole
[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Expansive Folk-Rock Build, Layered Harmonies, Steady Drum Rise, Bright String Pad]
So, you burned it down
(Razed to the ground)
Sow, plant the seed
(For what we need)
Turn the soil
(From ash and heat)
Break the cycle
(Make it complete)
[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Pulsing Bass Guitar, Strummed Acoustic Rhythm, Soft Percussion, Melodic Lead Guitar]
What you tear away in rage
Becomes the opening of a page
But only if you choose to grow
Not just let destruction show
The field begins as dust
The future builds on trust
Even fire has to fade
To let the new world be made
[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Groove, Ambient Strings, Resonant Piano, Gentle Rising Choir]
If you scatter seeds in ash
Will they vanish in the crash?
Or will something find a way
To rise again another day?
[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Lift, Anthemic Drums, Wide Harmonies, Expansive Acoustic Strumming]
So, you burned it down
(Razed to the ground)
Sow, plant the seed
(For what we need)
Heal the land
(Start again)
Let it stand
(Where it’s been)
[Outro]
[Arrangement: Soft Acoustic Fade, Wind Through Fields FX, Light Piano Echo, Gentle Ambient Pad]
From the ashes something grows
That’s the truth that everyone knows
What we break and what we sow
Decides the world we’ll come to know.
