A Promise Slain

(Verse 1)

Another siren wails tonight,

A shadow falls where there was light.

More hearts ache, a heavy toll,

Losing pieces of their soul.

(Chorus)

And the silence screams where voices fade,

A future was lost, a promise slain.

From city corners to country lanes,

The echo of a shot still reigns.

The echo still remains

(Verse 2)

The fear that lingers, day by day,

Taking innocence away.

A vacant chair, an empty space,

A haunting memory time can't erase.

(Chorus)

And the silence screams where voices fade,

A future was lost, a promise slain.

From city corners to country lanes,

The echo of a shot still reigns.

The echo still remains

(Bridge)

We search for answers, seek a way,

To mend the wounds, to ease the pain,

Will understanding bridge the divide,

And set the violence aside?

(Chorus)

And the silence screams where voices fade,

A future was lost, a promise slain.

From city corners to country lanes,

The echo of a shot still reigns.

The echo still remains

(Outro)

In fading light, we still believe,

A world of peace is what we need.

And though the echoes may remain,

We’ll break this cycle of pain.
