Whispers rise in burning air,
Smoke stains hope beyond repair.
Footsteps lost in crimson sand,
Echoes scream from broken land.


Shadows stretch where dawn once grew,
Dreams dissolve in ashen dew.
The earth we knew, now torn, defaced,
Bound by lines that hate has traced.

Fires dance where gardens bloomed,
Cities sink in ghost-lit gloom.
Empty eyes in shattered halls,
Waiting for the night to fall.


Smoke and silence, sky runs black,
No path forward, no way back.
Fallen voices, lost in screams,
Burning through our shattered dreams.


History carved with blood and stone,
Walls divide what hearts had known.
Lifeless hands reach toward the light,
Chained beneath the weight of might.

Crows now guard the throne of lies,
Truth erased before our eyes.
Winds still carry cries of old,
Stories left in dust and cold.


Smoke and silence, sky runs black,
No path forward, no way back.
Fallen voices, lost in screams,
Burning through our shattered dreams.

Echoes in the Smoke
