Seemed like a quiet day, just like any other. Then, in the afternoon, a proposition from Ragnarose: a beautiful instrumental blending metalcore and gothic metal. Well… the afternoon was getting better. Until that demonic creature known as Xirbaf awakened and challenged me. Who was I to refuse? I should have. Because Xirbaf possesses an evil artifact: a wheel of satanic genres. And, naturally, I landed on the genre you are about to hear in this song. Even Baby Jesus cried. And after hearing the result, I can only say: Here is the song. I’ll be in the corner, cleansing my soul with black metal. P.S. Stay away from Xirbaf’s wheel. ☠️😂 Theme: Echoes [EchoChainSong] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] I came here carrying your name and every sentence I left unsaid The city keeps moving without me so I take the long way instead [Verse 1] Your ashes sit steady in my hands a small weight with nowhere to live I carried you through the long miles to where the water meets the sky Morning keeps opening over the dock but I only catch the shape of your voice I came to return what I was trusted with I came to hand back what I could not keep [Pre-Chorus] You told me once when the hour comes don't let me vanish Bring me where the water meets the sky and leave me there [Chorus] I came here to give you back to the sea let it take the outline you left in me I opened my palms and watched the shape go thin but the water kept your echo on repeat [Verse 2] Salt bites hard at the corner of my mouth the wind keeps tugging at my coat I cradle the urn against my chest then finally loosen my hold Your ashes fold into the moving dark the horizon erases what it can I thought goodbye meant your absence but something stayed in my hands [Pre-Chorus 2] The water waits beneath my feet I feel your weight turning to air I close my eyes and take you in one last slow breath [Chorus 2] I came here to give you back to the sea let it take the outline you left in me I opened my palms and watched the shape go thin but the water kept your echo on repeat [Pre-Bridge] I thought the current would clear you out I thought the waves would scrub you clean but after the loss and after the break something kept moving beneath [Bridge] Not your voice not your face just this thin wire under my skin something the sea could not unthread I don't have to carry you to keep you near [Final Chorus] I came here to give you back to the sea and the water took what it was promised from me I opened my hands and watched the shape go thin but your echo stayed with me I thought goodbye was a door I could close now I know it's a way of learning to let go [Outro] The city wakes the water shines I turn away with my hands still empty still holding your echo © 2026 Lyrics written by Dhow, Genre selected by Xirbaf Evul Wheel, Music cover from RagnaRose instrumental All rights reserved.
