Lyrics
THE WELL RUNS DRY
Verse 1
Soil is cracking, forests fall,
We’re building empires on nothing at all.
Nine billion voices, one hungry cry,
How do we feed them when the fields run dry?
Pre-Chorus
Every harvest weaker, every forest flame,
We’re gambling futures in a losing game.
Chorus
The well runs dry, the clock beats fast,
We’re chasing shadows, can this fire last?
The ground is shaking, no place to hide,
The well runs dry — on the turning tide.
Verse 2
Black veins empty, the oil bleeds thin,
We stall at the door, afraid to begin.
Sunlight waiting, the wind still calls,
But greed builds borders and fear builds walls.
Pre-Chorus
Every tower trembling, every treaty strained,
We trade our children for the power we gained.
Chorus
The well runs dry, the clock beats fast,
We’re chasing shadows, can this fire last?
The ground is shaking, no place to hide,
The well runs dry — on the turning tide.
Bridge
Tear the earth for the rarest stone,
Digging deeper into the unknown.
Every nation with a sharpened hand,
Drawing lines across the sand.
Final Chorus
The well runs dry, no time, no rest,
The choice is heavy on the world’s last breath.
The ground is shaking, the fire is high,
