We walk like giants, heads held high Ignoring the whispers of the earth and sky With steel and stone, we shape our will As if the world bends to our thrill But in the shadows, a warning sigh A silent plea we brush aside We think we're the masters, kings of it all Standing on the edge, too proud to fall Ruling the earth like it’s ours to keep Blind to the scars that cut so deep We think we're the masters, oh, can’t we see? The world’s not ours, it was always free We carve the rivers, cage the breeze Turning beauty into broken dreams Each flame we spark, each stone we steal A part of life we can’t repeal But in the shadows, a warning sigh A silent plea we brush aside A silent plea we brush aside We think we're the masters, kings of it all Standing on the edge, too proud to fall Ruling the earth like it’s ours to keep Blind to the scars that cut so deep We think we're the masters, oh, can’t we see? The world’s not ours, it was always free We carve the rivers, kings of it all Standing on the edge, too proud to fall Ruling the earth like it’s ours to keep Blind to the scars that cut so deep We think we're the masters, oh, can’t we see? The world’s not ours, it was always free We think we're the masters, kings of it all Standing on the edge, too proud to fall Ruling the earth like it’s ours to keep Blind to the scars that cut so deep We think we're the masters, oh, can’t we see? The world’s not ours, it was always free When mountains crumble and waters rise Will we listen to the earth’s quiet cries? In nature’s heart, a beating sound Tells us softly, we’re not crowned We think we're the masters, kings of it all But we’re just shadows, fragile and small Ruling the earth like it’s ours to own But we’re just passing, flesh and bone So let us humble, let us learn The world’s a gift, not something earned We’re not the masters, just passing through A single chapter in skies so blue
