Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Beneath the blue, the silence fades
Color drains, the beauty trades
Whispers rise from coral bones
Echoes from our liquid home
(Chorus)
We gave you colors, songs, and tides
But you watched as the ocean died
Underwater warnings, loud and clear
Still you drown them in your fear
(Verse 2)
The reef is pale, but memory’s bright
It glowed once in lunar light
Now ghostly fish roam where life grew
Bleaching tales the world once knew
(Bridge)
You can't rebuild what you ignore
We knock, you close the door
But water keeps the score
It roars beneath the shore
(Chorus)
We gave you colors, songs, and tides
But you watched as the ocean died
Underwater warnings, loud and clear
Still you drown them in your fear
