Echoes in the Dust - Alt

[Verse] Footsteps fade lost in stone nights Hands pull away memories slipping through fog Cloud skies unnamed now whispers in the air Dust gathers on frames eyes blind to stare [Verse 2] Names carved deep now swallowed in cracks The echoes drift but can’t echo back Faces in smoke lost to flickering flames Every heartbeat stolen erasing their names [Chorus] Who will speak when the stars forget The lines etched deep by breath and sweat When second deaths gnaw at the fragile thread And the world moves serenely leaving no bed [Verse 3] Footsteps scatter shadows scatter faster Past becomes a stranger no place no master Legacy crumbles down below rivers’ roars Unremembered doors hinges cracked floors [Bridge] Are we waves forgotten by the shore Phantoms in silence—forever no more We sing we scream yet lost in the din Human legacy fragile where does it begin [Chorus] Who will speak when the stars forget The lines etched deep by breath and sweat When second deaths gnaw at the fragile thread And the world moves serenely leaving no bed
