Echoes in Time - Aetheron
Born in fire, breath of dawn
Crimson cries as the veil is torn
Eyes wide open, soul unchained
A fragile storm in flesh contained
Crawling through the dirt and flame
Learning names, chasing fame
Scars and wisdom, blood and bone
Building empires of our own
Every heartbeat, every scream
Carve a path through shattered dreams
We are the noise beneath the skin
The war we lose, the war we win
We rise, we fall, we burn, we bleed
We chase the stars we'll never need
From cradle light to shadow sway
We fade, we fade, but never stray
Hearts collide in sacred fire
Love like thunder on desire
But time's a thief with silent hands
Stealing dreams like shifting sands
Reflections crack in aging glass
Moments flicker, then they pass
Children's laughter, lover's tears
All dissolve in passing years
Silver strands and hollow eyes
Memories etched in midnight skies
The mirror cracks, the voice grows still
Yet echoes climb the highest hill
Ashes fall like winter rain
Bones remember every pain
We scream, we fight, we curse the sky
But even gods must learn to die
No crown survives the final breath
No throne withstands the hand of death
We are the dust, the flame, the cry
We live, we burn, we say goodbye
We rise, we fall, we burn, we bleed
We plant the seed, we set it free
From flesh to dust, from night to day
We fade, we fade into the fray
