THE ECHOES WE BECAME ( Heavy Rock, Modern Metal, Groove Metal )

The room is dark The night is cold A single piano plays I hear the notes I used to know But they sound different now I remember who we were Before the silence came Before we learned to hide Behind another name We built our walls We locked our doors We thought they kept us safe But every wall became a mirror Showing us what we became I still hear your voice Inside the echoes I still feel your hands Reaching through the smoke You say we lost ourselves I say we were never lost We only forgot How to find our way back We became the echoes Of the people we once were We became the shadows Of every word we never heard And somewhere in the darkness Something still remains A heartbeat underneath The ashes and the rain I remember your eyes When the world was burning You remember my voice When I stopped believing We were standing on opposite sides Of the same broken ground Neither one of us Was willing to turn around But I can hear it now The silence between us It isn't empty It's waiting For one of us to speak So I speak. Not because I'm fearless Not because I'm right But because I'm tired Of losing people To the darkness If you can hear me Don't turn away If you can see me Don't let me fade The wolf is watching From beyond the rain He has seen us change He has seen us break But he doesn't judge us He waits Because even ashes Remember the fire And even broken hearts Can learn to beat again We became the echoes Of the people we once were We became the shadows Of every word we never heard But somewhere in the darkness Something still remains A heartbeat underneath The ashes and the rain Maybe we were never meant To return to who we were Maybe we were meant To become something stronger Something that knows What it costs to lose Something that knows Why it must choose The piano keeps playing One note Then another And beneath the silence The guitars begin to rise I hear your voice again Not from the past But from beside me And suddenly The distance doesn't feel so far We don't need to forget We don't need to pretend The wounds never happened We only need to stop Making them deeper We became the echoes But echoes can change They can become voices And voices can become Something more The night is fading The rain is gone The first light touches The broken ground And for the first time We don't walk away. We walk forward. Together. The echoes disappear. But the song remains.
