Title:
“One Last Echo”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Em] Wandering through [G] the echoes of time [D],
[Em] Trying to find [G] a reason, a rhyme [D].
[Em] Remembering the [G] silent goodbyes [D],
[Em] The tears in our [G] eyes, the last of the lies [D].

(Chorus)
[C] One last echo [G] before we fade [D],
[Em] Searching for answers [G] in the masquerade [D].
[C] In the shadows [G], we find our song [D],
[Em] In the echoes [G] where we belong [D].

(Verse 2)
[Em] Dancing with the [G] ghost of the past [D],
[Em] Holding onto [G] memories that last [D].
[Em] Echoes of laughter [G], echoes of pain [D],
[Em] Trying to find [G] shelter from the rain [D].

(Chorus)
[C] One last echo [G] before we fade [D],
[Em] Searching for answers [G] in the masquerade [D].
[C] In the shadows [G], we find our song [D],
[Em] In the echoes [G] where we belong [D].
