[Silence]<\/p>\n
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\n[Low Bass Pulse, Sparse Piano Notes, Wind + Distant Industrial FX]
\n[Muted Guitar Harmonics, Slow Beat Enters]
\n[Spoken Vocal, reflective]
\nWe thought it was ours\u2026
\n(All our hours)
\nTo take\u2026
\n(Shake and break)
\nTo lose sleep
\n(For what we keep\u2026)<\/p>\n
[Build]
\n[Snare Clicks, Rising Synth, Organ Swell]
\nDig it up\u2026
\nPull it out\u2026<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\n[Full Band, Heavy Groove, Layered Vocals]
\nWe lined our pockets
\n(With Mother Nature’s treasures)
\nSo our stocks rocket
\n(But if nothing else endures?)<\/p>\n
We mined the mines
\n(And said, “All mine!”)
\nWith a “Take! Take! Take!”
\n(Humanity’s mistake)
\nInsanity’s intake
\n(“Take! Take! Take!”)<\/p>\n
Gotta learn to live (to give!)
\n(Gotta learn to live) to give!<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\n[Drop to Groove: Tight Bass, Clean Guitar, Light Drums]
\nPulled from the ground, burned in the air
\nCounted the gains, ignored the wear
\nEvery resource turned to a line
\nProfit and loss by design<\/p>\n
Forests fall into numbers and charts
\nOceans priced into broken parts
\nWhat we extract, we justify
\nWhile futures shrink beneath the sky<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Build: Snare Rolls, Rising Synth, Vocal Layers]
\nEvery gain we celebrate
\nCarries forward hidden weight
\nWhat we call a rising climb
\nBorrows from another time<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\n[Fuller, Heavier, Cymbal Washes]
\nWe lined our pockets
\n(With Mother Nature’s treasures)
\nSo our stocks rocket
\n(But if nothing else endures?)<\/p>\n
We mined the mines
\n(And said, “All mine!”)
\nWith a “Take! Take! Take!”
\n(Humanity’s mistake)
\nInsanity’s intake
\n(“Take! Take! Take!”)<\/p>\n
Gotta learn to live (to give!)
\n(Gotta learn to live) to give!<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]
\n[Organ Lead, Distorted Guitar Textures, Driving Bass]
\n[Synth Pulses, Percussion Builds Intensity]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\n[Expanded Arrangement, Darker Tone]
\nSmoke in the sky, heat in the ground
\nCycles we broke now spin us around
\nEvery system pushed to the edge
\nBalanced once, now hanging on ledge<\/p>\n
We took the yield, ignored the cost
\nMeasured the win, but never the loss
\nEvery \u201cmore\u201d we chased in time
\nMoved the edge of the final line<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Stronger Build, Snare Crescendo, Vocal Stack]
\nEvery \u201ctake\u201d becomes a debt
\nOne we haven\u2019t counted yet
\nEvery line we try to own
\nEchoes back in what we\u2019ve sown<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\n[Big Chorus, Layered Vocals, Driving Rhythm]
\nWe lined our pockets
\n(With Mother Nature’s treasures)
\nSo our stocks rocket
\n(But if nothing else endures?)<\/p>\n
We mined the mines
\n(And said, “All mine!”)
\nWith a “Take! Take! Take!”
\n(Humanity’s mistake)
\nInsanity’s intake
\n(“Take! Take! Take!”)<\/p>\n
Gotta learn to live (to give!)
\n(Gotta learn to live) to give!<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Breakdown: Piano, Ambient Synth, Low Sub Pulse]
\nA hand that takes
\nWill empty fast
\nA line that climbs
\nMay never last<\/p>\n
What we consume
\nBecomes the weight
\nOf what we face
\nIf left too late<\/p>\n
[Build-Up]
\n[Snare Roll Crescendo, Rising Synth Arpeggio, Guitar Feedback]
\n(Give\u2026)
\n(Give\u2026)
\n(Learn to give\u2026)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\n[Explosive Full Band, Double-Time Energy, Big Finish]
\nWe lined our pockets
\n(Now we measure the pressure)
\nSo our stocks rocket
\n(But at what cost forever?)<\/p>\n
We mined the mines
\n(No longer \u201call mine!\u201d)
\nHear the “Take! Take! Take!”
\n(Turn to give for our sake)
\nReverse the intake
\n(No more “Take! Take! Take!”)<\/p>\n
Gotta learn to live (to give!)
\n(Gotta learn to live) to give!<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Fade: Guitar Echo, Organ Drone, Wind Returns]
\n[Beat Drops Out \u2192 Ambient Only]
\n[Spoken Vocal, fading]
\nWhat we take\u2026
\n(Shake n’ break)
\nDefines our remains\u2026
\n(And our level in life’s games)<\/p>\n
[End \u2192 Silence]<\/p>\n
