Lyrics: Mila Cruz
Music: Mila Cruz
[Intro]
The wind whispers low through the trees,
A name etched in stone, carried on the breeze.
A shadow stands where a man once stood,
In the quiet of the night, his pain understood.
[Verse 1]
He came back from the desert, with sand in his veins,
But the war never left him, it lingers in his brain.
The medals on his chest, they weigh him down,
At the monument he kneels, his tears hit the ground.
[Chorus]
Stone and shadow, memories remain,
In the silence of the night, he calls out their names.
Every scar tells a story, every wound a refrain,
Stone and shadow, the echoes of pain.
[Verse 2]
The city moves on, but he’s stuck in the past,
Every firework’s a gunshot, every siren a blast.
He talks to the ghosts of the friends he once knew,
At the monument he stands, in the morning dew.
[Chorus]
Stone and shadow, memories remain,
In the silence of the night, he calls out their names.
Every scar tells a story, every wound a refrain,
Stone and shadow, the echoes of pain.
[Bridge]
The war is over, but the battle’s still here,
In the quiet of his heart, it’s loud and clear.
The monument stands, a testament to the cost,
Of the lives that were given, of the ones that were lost.
[Chorus]
Stone and shadow, memories remain,
In the silence of the night, he calls out their names.
Every scar tells a story, every wound a refrain,
Stone and shadow, the echoes of pain.
[Outro]
The wind whispers low through the trees,
A name etched in stone, carried on the breeze.
A shadow stands where a man once stood,
In the quiet of the night, his pain understood.
