Echoes in the Hollow

[Verse]
The wind it hums
A mournful tune
Through hollowed hills
Beneath the moon
A field of stone
Where shadows play
The whispers of the lost
They stay

[Chorus]
Oh
The war dead
They don't sleep
Their silence cuts the valley deep
Names unspoken
Lives unsaid
The wind still calls the war-torn dead

[Verse 2]
A rifle rusts
A helmet fades
In earth they lie
Their debts unpaid
The river runs
It knows the cost
Of blood-soaked banks
Of battles lost

[Prechorus]
Who remembers? Who will cry?
The echoes ask
The answers die

[Chorus]
Oh
The war dead
They don't sleep
Their silence cuts the valley deep
Names unspoken
Lives unsaid
The wind still calls the war-torn dead

[Bridge]
The flute it wails
The violin weeps
For sons and daughters buried deep
No flags can mend what war has torn
No songs revive the ones unborn
