[Intro] 
Cracked earth beneath my feet
A silent scream, a hollow street
Dust devils dance where laughter died
Just ghosts remain, nowhere to hide

[Verse 1]
Remember fields of emerald green
A vibrant life, a hopeful scene
Before the shadow, cold and vast
Consumed the future, shattered the past

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the wind whispers tales of woe
Of broken promises, long ago
A king's ambition, a nation's greed
Planted the seeds of this bitter deed

[Chorus] 
And the rain falls down on poisoned ground
Washing away what can't be found
A broken covenant, a shattered dream
Lost in the echo of what might have been

[Verse 2]
I walk these ruins, a lonely soul
Searching for answers, to make me whole
But the silence screams, a deafening sound
In this forgotten land, no solace is found

[Pre-Chorus]
The ghosts of children reach for the sky
Their innocent eyes ask, "Why, oh why?"
Their dreams stolen, their futures erased
In this desolate wasteland, forever chased

[Chorus]
And the rain falls down on poisoned ground
Washing away what can't be found
A broken covenant, a shattered dream
Lost in the echo of what might have been

[Chorus]
And the rain falls down on poisoned ground
Washing away what can't be found
A broken covenant, a shattered dream
Lost in the echo of what might have been

[Outro] 
The echo... of what might have been...
