Echoes of Time

[Verse]
Silent dawn awakens
Shadows claw
Ancient ages whisper
Cold stone raw
Time's cruel testament
Echoes we bear
Fleeting moments seized
Tethered in despair

[Verse 2]
Lightning splits the sky
Relentless roar
Decades crash like waves
Upon death's shore
Ruins left behind
Scars of time's war
Memories erode
Endless no more

[Chorus]
Ticking clocks betray us
Cold and unfeeling
March of time
Ruthless
Ever-stealing
Life’s brief snapshot
Blood-soaked reels
Ages cry
Each second reveals

[Verse 3]
Sands of time run red
In fate's dark hour
Empires rise and fall
Thirst for power
Bones rust and crumble
In graves we cower
Fleeting glories lost
Like wilted flower

[Verse 4]
Grim stories stitched in leather
Bound by dust
Eternal passage into shadow
Steel and rust
For every triumph
A frozen bust
Dreams decay
Drowned by time's gust

[Chorus]
Ticking clocks betray us
Cold and unfeeling
March of time
Ruthless
Ever-stealing
Life’s brief snapshot
Blood-soaked reels
Ages cry
Each second reveals
