Echoes remain

[Verse 1] This old heart can’t pretend, Loads another round, the shit won’t end, I pray like a sinner on the run, Staring down the barrel of a gun. [Verse 2] Fallen angels knocking at my door, Yesterday’s blues make tomorrow demand more, Dreams drowned in booze, and life ignored, Drifting broken, far from shore. [Chorus] Ghosts calling from the shadows, Scars bleed in the rain, Hearts hang in the gallows, And only echoes remain. And only echoes remain, Echoes remain… echoes remain. [Verse 3] The heart roars, but the lion is dead, Angels call, but I face the devil instead, Scars whisper forgotten curses, I ride through Hades, chasing wild horses. [Verse 4] Shadows feast where the light once bloomed, Lies rust in holy water, darkness drowns the doomed, Hypnotized by a counterfeit altar, Where innocence is ignored, and your pain adored. [Bridge] The heart roars but the lion is dead, Angels call but I face the devil instead… Face the devil instead… [Verse 5] Falling asleep in the arms of my own destruction, Smoke hides what I cannot face, Demons wear the image of my reflection, To the beats of addiction, to forgotten grace. [Chorus] Ghosts calling from the shadows, Scars bleed in the rain, Hearts hang in the gallows, And only echoes remain. And only echoes remain, Echoes remain… echoes remain. [Outro] And only echoes remain, Only echoes remain, Echoes remain… Remain… Remain…
