Echoes of the Fallen

In the yard, you were the king But the house feels empty, no joy to bring Echoes of your bark, like thunder in the night It's a lonely world when you're out of sight They said, 'good boy', you tried to cope But without your pack, you lost that hope And you chewed your bone Oh you know that you were alone No more playtime We left you sleeping, felt the bite It was a ruff situation And you scratched at my door that night Your tiny legs ran with the wind But the race is over, the fire's dimmed Your throne now vacant, every toy's untouched It's quieter now, we miss you so much Steps seem higher, you took them in stride Now they're just memories where love resides In your small world, life was just a game But we played too long and we're to blame Tails stopped wagging, you're lost in the past In a silent echo, the die was cast [Pre-chorus] Once you danced in the sun, now it's shadow you seek A tiny soldier fallen, once bold now meek
