(Epic Orchestra Intro)
(Verse 1)
We wear our smiles like chains,
Marching through the masquerade.
Clockwork hearts and borrowed names,
Trapped in lines we never made.
Behind these eyes a spark still burns,
A silent vow the world unlearns.
If freedom bleeds, I’ll taste the flame,
And call the lost ones by their names.
---
(Pre-Chorus)
I feel it rising in my chest,
A storm the system can’t suppress.
---
(Chorus)
We are echoes of the free,
Born from fire, born to be.
Raise your hands, defy the crown,
Tear these iron heavens down.
If we fall, we fall as one,
’Cause the dawn’s already begun.
---
(Verse 2)
They taught us what to fear and crave,
To die politely, not be brave.
But I still dream in open skies,
Where no one’s forced to compromise.
The gears will break, the towers fade,
The meek will rise, the walls decay.
I see the future through the haze,
And lead the fallen through the maze.
---
(Pre-Chorus)
The voice inside, it won’t be still,
It screams for more than just the will.
---
(Chorus)
We are echoes of the free,
Born from fire, born to be.
Raise your hands, defy the crown,
Tear these iron heavens down.
If we fall, we fall as one,
’Cause the dawn’s already begun.
---
(Bridge) (epic orchestral rise, cinematic atmosphere)
Let the violins cry for the ones who remained,
Let the drums of the lost beat again through the pain.
We’re the ghosts of tomorrow that no one could chain,
The forgotten believers, reborn through the flame.
---
(Final Chorus) (double, choir + full strings)
We are echoes of the free,
Born from fire, born to be.
Raise your hearts beyond the sound,
Tear these iron heavens down.
We are echoes, you and me,
Singing for eternity.
If we fall, we fall as one,
But our freedom has begun.
---
(Outro) (soft strings, fading female vocal)
Can you hear it in the silence —
the world we’re meant to be?
We are echoes… echoes of the free.
