[Verse 1]
Marching shadows in the dawn's soft glow
Silent stories only they know
A thousand boots on the dusty road
Carrying the weight of a promise owed
[Prechorus]
Through the thunder through the rain
They held the line they bore the strain
Echoes of their courage remain
[Chorus]
For the heroes in the echoes
For the battles they faced
They chose
Every scar a medal they show
On this day we let them know
They're the light when the dark won't go
[Verse 2]
Faded pictures pinned to walls
Names engraved on marble halls
Every step a call they heeded
Freedom’s song where they’re needed
[Prechorus]
Through the thunder through the rain
They held the line they bore the strain
Echoes of their courage remain
[Chorus]
For the heroes in the echoes
For the battles they faced
They chose
Every scar a medal they show
On this day we let them know
They're the light when the dark won't go
