[Verse]
Boots hit the ground like a heartbeat's cry
Under a fading and desolate sky
Faces of youth etched with stories untold
Marching to futures that feel so cold
[Chorus]
Echoes of dreams left behind in the dust
Marching to war with a hollowed trust
Lights in their eyes dimmed by the fight
Shadows they march into endless night
[Verse 2]
Fields of tomorrow painted with dread
Carrying whispers of words unsaid
A letter clutched tight in a trembling hand
Hoping for peace in a distant land
[Chorus]
Echoes of dreams left behind in the dust
Marching to war with a hollowed trust
Lights in their eyes dimmed by the fight
Shadows they march into endless night
[Bridge]
The beat of the drums and the hum of despair
A battlefield song in the thickened air
Lost in the noise yet they carry the weight
Of lives intertwined with the hand of fate
[Chorus]
Echoes of dreams left behind in the dust
Marching to war with a hollowed trust
Lights in their eyes dimmed by the fight
Shadows they march into endless night
