The Price of Breath - Lavitz Parshath

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
The towers of gold block out the sun!
They count the cash while we’re on the run!
A heavy crown on a hollow head
They hoard the grain while we starve for bread!
Look at the streets, see the concrete crack
There is no shelter, there is no turning back!
They sell the water! They lease the air!
A broken system beyond repair!

(Pre-Chorus)
The divide is growing wide
There is nowhere left to hide!
NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE!

(Chorus)
The world is burning down, we’re running out of time!
The scales are tipped for them, punished for no crime!
So scream for the hopeless, scream for the lost!
We are the ones who pay the cost! Yeah!

(Verse 2)
Black smoke rising, choking the sky!
The rivers are poison, watch the forests die!
Digging the graves with machines of greed
Taking far more than they’ll ever need!
Temperature rising, the ice starts to break
How much more can this planet take?
Ignore the warning! Ignore the sign!
Profits over people, the bottom line!

(Pre-Chorus)
The divide is growing wide
There is nowhere left to hide!
WATCH IT BURN!

(Chorus)
The world is burning down, we’re running out of time!
The scales are tipped for them, punished for no crime!
So scream for the hopeless, scream for the lost!
We are the ones who pay the cost!

(Bridge)
They draw the lines based on color and skin
To keep us out, and to keep them in.
Shatter the glass, shatter the hate
Before we seal our final fate.
She fights for a voice! He fights for a life!
Cut through the bigotry like a knife!

(Final Chorus)
The world is burning down, we’re running out of time!
The scales are tipped for them, punished for no crime!
So scream for the hopeless, scream for the lost!
We are the ones who pay the cost!

(Outro)
WE PAY THE COST!
THE PRICE OF BREATH!
GO!
