Echoes Under Stone

Lyrics

Intro
[low choir hum
Distant reversed breaths]
Shadows breathe
Under stone
Name carved deep
Never shown

Verse 1
Footsteps
In a hall of masks
Every echo
Asks and asks
Who are you
When the torch burns out
When even your hunger
Starts to doubt

Stare at the cape
On a rusted nail
All of your vows
Gone thin
Gone pale

Chorus
You are the echo under stone
(under stone)
Heavy as a secret
Cold as bone
Face in the glass
Split in two
The night remembers
More than you
You are the echo under stone
That never lets you go

Verse 2
Broken skyline
Pressed in glass
Sirens smear
Then fade to black
You chase ghosts
Down a spiral stair
Every wrong turn
Waiting there

Blood on the gloves
Never quite fades
Still you walk back
Into the blade

Chorus
You are the echo under stone
(under stone)
Heavy as a secret
Cold as bone
Face in the glass
Split in two
The night remembers
More than you
You are the echo under stone
That never lets you go

Bridge
They sing your sins
In a wordless tongue
(low voices calling)
Every vow you made
Tied to your lungs
(keep falling, keep falling)
If you can’t be saved
Become the scar
Let the fear you feel
Wear your mark

Chorus
You are the echo under stone
(under stone)
Heavy as a secret
Cold as bone
Face in the glass
Split in two
The night remembers
More than you
You are the echo under stone
That never lets you go

Outro
[iconic four-note motif
Choirs swelling then reversing into silence]
Under stone
You still breathe
Under stone
You still bleed
