Lyrics
Strophe 1
I walk on scorched ground, shadows at my heels
The sky bleeds orange, yet we ignore what it reveals
Factories we built in pride, now whisper in smoke
We breathe the echoes of tomorrow we provoke
---
Pre-Refrain
Don’t ask me how it all began
Don’t ask me where to stand
---
Refrain
No answers, no solutions
Only echoes, confusion
We stand beneath the burning sun
And wait for night, when hope is none
---
Strophe 2
Ice is melting quietly, but screams inside the sea
We barter with our conscience just to stay free
The storms they come in cycles, unrelenting, ever near
We pray for rain but taste the salt of fear
---
Pre-Refrain
Don’t ask me who’s to blame
Don’t ask me to tame what’s aflame
---
Refrain
No answers, no solutions
Only echoes, confusion
We stand beneath the burning sun
And wait for night, when hope is none
---
Bridge
I hear the pulse of distant hearts
A drum beneath the concrete walls
Will we rise or fall apart?
When no one hears the truth that calls
---
Strophe 3
Children ask in silence, eyes reflect the sky
They wonder if the future’s just a promise built on lies
We speak in half-solutions, patchwork and delay
But the clock beats on — will we ever find our way?
---
Final Refrain (repeat & fade)
No answers, no solutions
Only echoes, confusion
We stand beneath the burning sun
And wait for night, when hope is none
No answers, no solutions
Only echoes, confusion
Will we ever see the dawn
Or watch it break and be gone
---
Outro (Instrumental/Spoken)
(leise Maschinen-Sounds, Pulsieren, vielleicht ein leiser Synth-Drumloop, Stimme flüstert)
“Only the questions remain…”
