Moonlight Through Dead Branches

#aivoice #music #fantasy #faries #forest [Verse 1] We used to dance where the rivers glowed Silver leaves and winding roads Lantern flowers lit the air Fireflies like fallen stars were everywhere The trees would sing when night arrived Soft green light beneath the sky Every stream knew every name And nothing living feared the rain But your machines came roaring in Steel teeth carved beneath our skin The sacred groves were torn away One dying tree at a time each day [Pre-Chorus] Now the stars hide behind your smoke And the oldest roots are finally broke You call it progress, call it growth But all we hear are forests choking slow [Chorus] Moonlight through dead branches Ashes where the old trees stood Tell me why you fear the wild Why you kill what once was good We gave you shade We gave you spring Crystal rivers, everything Now the highways cut like knives Through the beating heart of life Moonlight through dead branches Ghosts beneath your city lights You build your kingdoms out of concrete While the ancient world slowly dies [Verse 2] Children once could hear us sing Now they only hear machines Birdsong drowned by endless roads Black rain falling cold as stone Grass paths buried under gray Every flower stripped away The younger ones have never seen The forests glowing emerald green They ask us why the rivers died Why the summer never arrives Why the moon looks pale and weak Why the trees no longer speak And I have no words left to say Except humans took the light away [Bridge] We did not ask for thrones or gold Only quiet woods to grow old But your hunger spread across the land Turning living roots to sand Now we wander forgotten places Subway tunnels, ruined stations Tiny ghosts beside your walls While no one notices us at all [Final Chorus] Moonlight through dead branches Silver shining over graves Where we once danced beneath the canopies Now smoke rolls in like waves Tell me why you hate the wild Why you burn the emerald sky We gave you beauty without asking Why did you let our forests die? Moonlight through dead branches One last song before we fade And when the final tree has fallen You'll remember what you betrayed
