This is song #3 of 5 from the EP “Beneath the Banner”.
Lyrics:
Verse:
Through fields of ash, he walks alone
Each step a weight, each breath a groan
The sky is dark, the earth a scar
Where once was life, now death’s the star
With blood-stained hands and hollow eyes
He questions where his honor lies
Verse:
Once brothers stood with hearts ablaze
Now shadows lost in smoke and haze
Their voices echo through his mind
In haunted dreams he cannot find
A purpose clear, a reason why
Just endless death beneath the sky
Pre-Chorus:
The cries of war grow dim and cold
The tales of glory, lies retold
In endless night, his faith is burned
To dust and ash, there’s no return
Chorus:
These echoes of fire, they burn in his soul
A relentless flame he can’t control
Where honor falls and reason dies
In the heart of war, he’s lost his ties
A twisted path, a brutal toll
A shattered dream, a broken goal
Through blood and fear, his spirit cries
Yet in this war, no hero lies
Verse:
He sees the boy who once stood proud
With armor bright, his heart unbowed
But now that gleam has turned to rust
A soldier bound to war’s cruel lust
With faith undone, his hopes betrayed
A hollow shell where dreams decayed
Pre-Chorus:
For every life that’s torn away
In fields where fallen bodies lay
He wonders now what honor means
In battles fought for hollow dreams
Chorus:
These echoes of fire, they burn in his soul
A relentless flame he can’t control
Where honor falls and reason dies
In the heart of war, he’s lost his ties
A twisted path, a brutal toll
A shattered dream, a broken goal
Through blood and fear, his spirit cries
Yet in this war, no hero lies
Bridge:
A lifetime lost in battle’s wake
With only death left in his wake
He’s bound to fight, yet cannot feel
The warrior’s heart, now cold as steel
Chorus:
These echoes of fire, they burn in his soul
A relentless flame he can’t control
Where honor falls and reason dies
In the heart of war, he’s lost his ties
A twisted path, a brutal toll
A shattered dream, a broken goal
Through blood and fear, his spirit cries
Yet in this war, no hero lies
Chorus:
These echoes of fire, they burn in his soul
A relentless flame he can’t control
Where honor falls and reason dies
In the heart of war, he’s lost his ties
A twisted path, a brutal toll
A shattered dream, a broken goal
Through blood and fear, his spirit cries
Yet in this war, no hero lies
