Shattered Foundations
A song made by Sugie
Shattered Foundations
A song made by Sugie
Walls that once stood tall and proud
Now crumble silently to dust
We built our home with tender care
Each brick a promise, each beam a prayer
But whispers came from beyond our gates
Poison disguised as wisdom's grace
They spoke of freedom, spoke of chains
Until our hearts could not remain
The same as when we first began
When love was simple, hand in hand
External voices, sharp as knives
Cutting through our sacred lives
What strangers sow in fertile ground
Can tear apart what love has bound
Oh, the ruins of what used to be
A family lost to industry
They told us gold was all that mattered
Until our dinner table shattered
They said tradition was our cage
Until we burned our heritage
Influence wrapped in good intentions
But bred division, bred dissension
Now children look at parents strange
As if they're enemies, deranged
External voices, sharp as knives
Cutting through our sacred lives
What strangers sow in fertile ground
Can tear apart what love has bound
Oh, the ruins of what used to be
A family lost to industry
And in the silence, we now stand
Strangers where we once held hands
