Echos of the Fallen

A song I wrote with a string section and lyrics from another poem.
Special Thanks goes out to Dawn Kemper and Amy Lowe for great their vocal contributions

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Winter's breath swirling cold on my skin
Quiet confession of where I begin

[Verse 1]
Ruins behind me, dawn far away
Heavy with silence, I'm sworn here to stay
Lost in the margin between hope and fear
Searching for meaning in every tear

[Chorus]
Calling my name
Walking through the shadows of yesterday's pain
Can't shake the silence carved into stone
Echos of the fallen, never alone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh, never alone
Oh oh oh, never alone

[Verse 2]
Haunted by voices that linger each night
They paint my memories in shades of white
I carry their hopes, their scars in my hands
Learning to rise, to understand

[Pre-Chorus]
In every moment I find the trace
Of battles lost and dreams replaced
But through the noise, I will remain
Finding my way after the rain

[Chorus]
Echos of the fallen, calling my name
Walking through the shadows of yesterday's pain
Can't shake the silence carved into stone
Echos of the fallen, never alone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh, never alone
Oh oh oh, never alone

[Bridge]
Shattered reflection, I see what remains
A chorus of shadows we’ll never reclaim
Light on the horizon, breaking the chains
Turning the longing into refrain

[Chorus]
Echos of the fallen, calling my name
Walking through the shadows of yesterday's pain
Can't shake the silence carved into stone
Echos of the fallen, never alone

[Verse 3]
Silent surrender to hope's quiet fire
Carried by voices that dare to aspire
One final promise beneath fading light
We rise with the fallen into the night

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh, never alone
Oh oh oh, never alone
Oh oh oh, never alone
Oh oh oh, never alone
Oh oh oh, never alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Footsteps are fading, the curtain falls slow
Echoes still linger with all that I know
Strength found in fragments the once stole
Rising with thunder deep down in my soul

[Chorus]
Echos of the fallen, calling my name
Walking through the shadows of yesterday's pain
Can't shake the silence carved into stone
Echos of the fallen, never alone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh, never alone (Never alone)
Oh oh oh, never alone
Never alone
