Echoes of War

[Verse] Echoes linger after the fight Scars of war deep in night Broken dreams fields of blight Lonely shadows lose their light [Verse 2] Whispered names lost to time Silent tears in grief's rhyme Haunted hearts in their prime Memories fade in rhythmic chime [Chorus] Oh the echoes echo back Through the dark and shattered tracks Lives and love in shades of black Peace lost in war's attack [Verse 3] Ruined towns silent streets Battles ended no retreats Empty chairs where they meet Hollow homes heartbeat's beat [Chorus] Oh the echoes echo back Through the dark and shattered tracks Lives and love in shades of black Peace lost in war's attack [Bridge] Monuments to what has gone Silent vigils till the dawn Hope and sorrow clinging on Life persists the fight is long
