Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:31,000
[Verse 1]
Dust motes danced in fading light,
A mine's dark heart, swallowed the night.

3
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Nineteen twenty-seven, a world I knew,
Radio waves and skies so blue.

4
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,500
Then darkness fell, a silent sleep,
Five centuries buried, secrets to keep.

5
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:52,500
[Chorus]
Across the ages, a leap of time,
A shattered future, a fading rhyme.

6
00:00:52,500 --> 00:01:00,000
America lost, beneath a yellow sky,
Hope’s ember burning, refusing to die.

7
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,000
I woke in shadows, a stranger reborn,
To fight for freedom, on a new dawn.

8
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,000
[Verse 2]
Glass cities gleaming, cold and bright,
Mongolian lords ruling with iron might.

9
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Forests concealing, a hidden race,
Preserving memories, finding their place.

10
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Jumpers soaring, silent and free,
A desperate struggle for liberty.

11
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,000
[Bridge]
Green cloaks blending, with the ancient trees,
Fighting for survival, carried on the breeze.

12
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,500
The echoes of battles, a constant refrain,
To break these shackles, to rise again!

13
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:54,500
[Chorus]
Across the ages, a leap of time,
A shattered future, a fading rhyme.

14
00:01:54,500 --> 00:02:02,000
America lost, beneath a yellow sky,
Hope’s ember burning, refusing to die.

15
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I woke in shadows, a stranger reborn,
To fight for freedom, on a new dawn.

16
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,500
[Verse 3]
A girl with courage, eyes bright and keen,
Believing my story, a future unseen.

17
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:26,500
Sharing knowledge, across the divide,
Old ways and new, side by side.

18
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:34,000
Rocket guns blazing, a defiant stand,
Reclaiming our heritage, reclaiming our land.

19
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:44,000
[Bridge]
[instrumental]

20
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,000
A girl with courage, eyes bright and keen,
Believing my story, a future unseen.

21
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Sharing knowledge, across the divide,
Old ways and new, side by side.

22
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Rocket guns blazing, a defiant stand,
Reclaiming our heritage, reclaiming our land.

23
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,000
[Outro]
A new dawn breaking, through the forest deep,
The seeds of hope, we sow and keep.

24
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Five hundred years, a journey untold,
A future waiting, brave and bold…
