Echoes Beneath (Shale)

(Intro) [Low hum] [Softly] “Echoes… echoes… beneath…” (Verse 1) “In cracks and stone, the voices reside, Of ancient earth, so deep and wide. They speak in tones that mountains know, Of secrets waiting in caverns low.” (Chorus) [Whispered] “Echoes… echoes… beneath…” [Pause] “Echoes… echoes… beneath…” (Verse 2) “Beneath our feet, where roots entwine, Whispers flow through rock that remember old times. In every step, the earth does keep, The tales we lose, the paths we seek.” (Chorus) [Whispered] “Echoes… echoes… beneath…” [Pause] “Echoes… echoes… beneath…” (Bridge) [Softly] “Oh, stone that knows what time forgot, In shade and shadow, cool and hot, Guide our way, in soil we trust, For flesh is weak, but earth is just.” (Chorus) [layered voices] “Echoes… echoes… beneath… Echoes… echoes… beneath…” (Outro) [fading echoes] “Where mountains sleep and caverns weep, The earth does hold, the earth does keep…” [fading hum]
