Ivy sutton - Shadows loom on (British) streets Lyrics

Shadows loom on (British) streets
In the (neon) glow the truth (retreats)
Steel machines hum (like a ghost)
In this realm (we've lost) our hosts

Silent whispers in the (night)
Electric phantoms in our (sight)
Carbon trails they try to (hide)
But our planet's (still) denied

Concrete jungles breath (a sigh)
Green is lost beneath the (sky)
Silent motors silent (plea)
This is not what (we're) to be

Electric shadows haunt our (land)
Promises fall from the (hand)
Underneath the quiet (drive)
Mother Earth struggles to (survive)

Silent cities poisoned (air)
Electric dreams false (repair)
Beneath the surface (burning) scars
From the (birth) of these silent cars

Broken landscapes (silent) tears
Electric hearts fuel (our) fears
Cities crumble (nature) bleeds
From these (sparkling) false (deeds)

They said the answer's (shiny) new
But truth is hidden (out) of view
Beneath the silence (cries) are loud
Underneath this electric (shroud)

Electric shadows haunt our (land)
Promises fall from the (hand)
Underneath the quiet (drive)
Mother Earth struggles to (survive)

Greenwashed lies and (hidden) costs
In the silence nature's (lost)
Echoes of a world (once) free
In this (electric) misery

Electric shadows (deep) inside
Hide the truth that (we) deride
Cars that whisper (still) betray
In this quiet (we'll) decay

In the end (we'll) see the (truth)
Electric dreams our lost (youth)
Silent streets and (quiet) cries
Electric shadows (veil) our skies
