Lyric

Not buried to rot, but to remember

Rusty veins, coal strings

They hum beneath the frost line

No obituaries carved in stone

Only hymns milled into the marrow of the bones

Cracked by the weight of years

We are the earth's regret

We are a hymn the earth cannot silence

We are not gone

We are a choir

Under the soil

Listen: not silence, but its absence

A choir without song

Only feeling and calling

They do not rise

They surround

They inherit

The roots drink in the echo

The stone weeps salty memory

The worms move like dying satellites

You walk above us

But your breath vaporizes

Your shadow writes verses

We are the earth's regret

We are a hymn that the earth cannot silence

We are not gone

We are a choir

Under the earth

Under the earth

Under the earth
