Whispers of the Forgotten Lyrics

They stood in peace, unarmed, unbound

Their voices lost beneath our sound

We took the skies, we stole the seas

And claimed dominion as we pleased

Their homes were burned, their young were torn

We turned their grace to fields forlorn

For every gain, a life was lost

And still we refused to count the cost

How much blood will stain our hands

Before we heed the earth's demands

We broke the wild, we caged the free

And called it human destiny

But their eyes reflect what we deny

The truth we've buried deep inside

This world is theirs as much as ours

Yet we devour and leave it scarred

We crowned ourselves the kings of all

But built an empire doomed to fall

The tiger's roar, the whale's lament

Are testaments to lives misspent

We call it sport, we call it gain

But cannot mask the endless pain

Each trophy hung, each prize displayed

A testament to the debt unpaid

How much blood will stain our hands

Before we heed the earth's demands

We broke the wild, we caged the free

And called it human destiny

But their eyes reflect what we deny

The truth we've buried deep inside

This world is theirs as much as ours

Yet we devour and leave it scarred

Do you feel the weight of their fading cries

Do you see the guilt in their dying eyes

We've chained the beauty we once admired

Extinguished lives to fuel desires

What will we say when the silence falls

When nature's voice no longer calls

Will shame consume or will we rise

To heal the wounds beneath the skies

Look around at what we've become

Destroyers blind, deaf, and numb

But there's still time to break the chain

To cleanse the earth of human stain

If we'd just bow, confess our sin

Perhaps the wild would let us in

For this is not just our domain

And to forget that is to profane
