Текст пісні
Flames devour dreams, smoke blinds the night,
Ashes falling heavy, blocking out the light.
Santa Ana’s howling, spreading wrath and fear,
Thousands running, but the fire’s always near.
Homes are embers, lives reduced to dust,
Promises of safety crumbled into rust.
A city choking on the price of our greed,
Mother Earth’s revenge for the lives we don’t heed.
Chorus:
There’s no escape from the smoke in the sky,
No refuge from the flames that rise so high.
Hey yo, we built this, now we pay the cost,
Brick by brick, we lose what we’ve lost.
There’s no escape from the smoke in the sky.
Verse 2:
Evacuation orders, but where do we go?
Every highway’s burning, hope is running slow.
News keeps spinning, but the stories all repeat,
Lives displaced, and bodies crushed by heat.
Politicians promise, but the years all blur,
While they watch the world burn from their corridors.
Nature’s crying, but no one hears the sound,
Until the flames consume the ground.
Chorus:
There’s no escape from the smoke in the sky,
No refuge from the flames that rise so high.
Hey yo, we built this, now we pay the cost,
Brick by brick, we lose what we’ve lost.
There’s no escape from the smoke in the sky.
Bridge:
From Malibu’s mansions to the valley’s streets,
The fire doesn’t care about defeat.
The warnings were loud, we ignored the signs,
Now we’re trapped in the mess we designed.
Outro:
So we watch it burn, there’s nothing to save,
The forests are gone, now deserts behave.
Smoke in the sky, choking every breath,
This is the cost of a slow-moving death.
