Echoes of War

[Riff - Lead Guitar Gibson Les Paul] [Verse] In the streets of shattered dreams, where the shadows roam, Broken souls and silent screams, lost in the war zone. Flags of sorrow, blood-stained ground, echoes of the past, In the silence, not a sound, memories that last [Chorus] War ain't glory, it's just pain, Leaving scars that remain. In the name of power, lives are lost, Counting the human cost. [Verse 2] Children crying in the night, innocence betrayed, Fathers fallen in the fight, their memories fade. Brothers torn apart by hate, sisters left to mourn, In the ruins of their fate, the world is torn. [Chorus] War ain't glory, it's just pain, Leaving scars that remain. In the name of power, lives are lost, Counting the human cost. [Bridge] So many lives lost in the fight, For what cause, who's wrong or right? In the end, what do we gain, From the ashes, who'll remain? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Hear the cries of those who've gone, their voices plead, In the aftermath of the dawn, hearts still bleed. But in the ashes, seeds of hope, a new day's dawn, With every step, we learn to cope, and carry on. [Chorus] War ain't glory, it's just pain, Leaving scars that remain. In the name of power, lives are lost, Counting the human cost. [Verse ] So many lives lost in the fight, For what cause, who's wrong or right? In the end, what do we gain, From the ashes, who'll remain? [Chorus] War ain't glory, it's just pain, Leaving scars that remain. In the name of power, lives are lost, Counting the human cost. [End] A city in ruins after a war [end] A city in ruins after a war
