Concrete Kingdom

[Verse 1] In the heart of the city where the sun used to shine, Now there’s nothing but concrete, stretching mile after mile. Trees once whispered in the wind, now silent under the street, Where the soil once was sacred, now it’s just beneath our feet. [Chorus] Concrete kingdom, where has the earth gone? Buried under the city, where the wild once roamed. Skyscrapers like sentinels, watch over gray views, In this jungle of concrete, the earth we abuse. [Verse 2] Rivers once flowing free, now trapped in culverts and codes, Birdsongs drowned by the traffic, on never-ending roads. The aroma of fresh grass, now just a memory, Replaced by the stench of tar, in this urban spree. [Chorus] Concrete kingdom, where has the earth gone? Buried under the city, where the wild once roamed. Skyscrapers like sentinels, watch over gray views, In this jungle of concrete, the earth we abuse. [Verse 3] Footprints of our forefathers, now stamped in sidewalk squares, No more soft earth to wander, no dirt between our toes, just layers. We pave our paths to tomorrow, but at what cost, what price? When the land we claim to conquer, is the land we sacrifice. [Chorus] Concrete kingdom, where has the earth gone? Buried under the city, where the wild once roamed. Skyscrapers like sentinels, watch over gray views, In this jungle of concrete, the earth we abuse. [Outro] As the concrete lays its claim, and nature we disown, Remember the earth beneath, once vibrant, once home. Can we find a path back, or is it too late, To restore the earth we love, to rewrite our fate?
