histoires tragiques de l'humanité Echoes of Oradour

[Verse] The walls remember what the ashes forgot A village in silence A memory caught Shadows whisper where laughter once stayed [Chorus] Oradour Oradour A name carved in pain Smoke in the sky Fire and rain Never again We pray in vain [Verse 2] The bells don’t ring The streets don’t sing Where children once danced Now ghosts take wing The church holds screams in its stone embrace [Prechorus] What does it mean to remember a scar When the wound still bleeds When the heart’s ajar [Chorus] Oradour Oradour A name carved in pain Smoke in the sky Fire and rain Never again We pray in vain [Bridge] Cinders and echoes They carry the weight Of lives undone Of merciless fate The ruins still stand But the world looks away
