Empire of echoes

Title: Empire of Echoes (Verse 1) In a room where shadows softly speak, I lay down blame on these fragile sheets. Once, I built a fortress of silence and doubt, Now crumbling slowly as the truth spills out. (Pre-Chorus) I watched an empire turn to dust, Promises broken, dreams unjust. But somewhere deep within this maze, I seek the spark that lights the haze. (Chorus) Lead me through these endless nights, Where whispers linger, casting lights. In the echoes of what used to be, I'll find the strength to set me free. (Verse 2) The chill of distance fills the air, As words unspoken leave us bare. Are we victims of time's cruel jest, Or is this the trial that love must test? (Pre-Chorus) The angels forgot their solemn vow, As we stumble through the here and now. I sing my truth against the tide, Facing the mirror, I can't hide. (Chorus) Lead me through these endless nights, Where whispers linger, casting lights. In the echoes of what used to be, I'll find the strength to set me free. (Bridge) In foreign lands, I see my reflection, Lost in a sea of past connections. Art-school dreams and city nights, Pull me back to forgotten heights. (Verse 3) On snow-covered hills, I stand alone, Facing landslides of what I've known. Once we soared on borrowed wings, Now we search for what life brings. (Pre-Chorus) In a world where sins are mine, I hold the cards, the ties that bind. Through every shadow and every doubt, I'll find my way and figure it out. (Chorus) Lead me through these endless nights, Where whispers linger, casting lights. In the echoes of what used to be, I'll find the strength to set me free. (Outro) The stars above, the earth below, In echoes of yesterday, I grow. With every step, a path revealed, In shadows of the past, I'm healed.
