[Verse]
Boots in the dirt the sky’s turning grey
Letters from home feel a lifetime away
A photograph crumpled held tight in my hand
This battlefield's silence I don’t understand

[Chorus]
Oh the echoes of war they scream in my head
The faces I’ve lost the tears that I’ve bled
I march on through shadows though my heart feels spent
This is my story a soldier's lament

[Verse 2]
The stars in the night they blink like a tear
Each one a reminder of someone held dear
The weight of the past it clings to my chest
But I carry it forward I give it my best

[Chorus]
Oh the echoes of war they scream in my head
The faces I’ve lost the tears that I’ve bled
I march on through shadows though my heart feels spent
This is my story a soldier's lament

[Bridge]
The wind whispers softly it hums a sad tune
Under the glow of a cold silver moon
Each step that I take is a prayer in disguise
For peace to return to these weary eyes

[Chorus]
Oh the echoes of war they scream in my head
The faces I’ve lost the tears that I’ve bled
I march on through shadows though my heart feels spent
This is my story a soldier's lament
