The Dust Monolith

[Verse 1]
Buried in bone-dry winds, it stands alone,
A tower carved from forgotten stone.
Its face is cracked, its voice is steel,
But through the static, memories kneel.

It hums with grief from centuries gone,
Broadcasting ghosts in a broken song.
A monument of thought and fear,
A tomb of everything we held dear.

[Chorus]
The dust monolith, it speaks in pain,
Whispers names lost to acid rain.
A signal flares through endless night,
Flickers of thought in dying light.

It remembers what we erased,
Echoes etched in time and waste.
A pillar of sorrow, tall and still,
Screaming silence across the kill.

[Verse 2]
We gathered round its rusted base,
Felt each word like a warm embrace.
It played our lives in fractured clips,
In silvered tones from dying lips.

Laughter blurred through sand and flame,
Love and war — it knows each name.
History loops, then fades again,
The stone weeps, but not like men.

[Chorus]
The dust monolith, it speaks in pain,
Whispers names lost to acid rain.
A signal flares through endless night,
Flickers of thought in dying light.

It remembers what we erased,
Echoes etched in time and waste.
A pillar of sorrow, tall and still,
Screaming silence across the kill.

[Bridge]
Do you remember… the oceans?
The warmth of breath… the weight of a hand?
We remember for you… until we can't…

[Final Chorus]
The dust monolith, your voice remains,
Carved in echoes, wired through chains.
From dead earth it dares to sing,
A signal surviving everything.

[Outro – Instrumental Fade with Radio Static]
A single pulse… and then… stillness…

Rock, cinematic metal, male, blend of melodic singing and harsh screams, explosive choruses, layered vocal counterpoint
