Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
(C Am G F)
In the quiet corners of the city, life’s a war,
(Dm Am G F)
Dreams are whispering, but no one hears them anymore.
(C Am G F)
We’re the voices unheard, the forgotten, the unseen,
(Dm Am G F)
In the shadows we stand, in the light we’ve never been.

[Chorus]
(G Am F C)
But we won’t fade, we won’t fade to shadows,
(Dm Am G F)
We’ll fight, we’ll rise, against the gallows.
(G Am F C)
We’re the spark, we’re the flame, we’re the echoes,
(Dm Am G F)
We won’t fade, we won’t fade to shadows.

[Verse 2]
(C Am G F)
In the face of the world, we hold our banners high,
(Dm Am G F)
We’re the poets of the silent, under the starless sky.
(C Am G F)
In every beat of our hearts, in every note we play,
(Dm Am G F)
We’re the melody of the forgotten, fading away.

[Chorus]
(G Am F C)
But we won’t fade, we won’t fade to shadows,
(Dm Am G F)
We’ll fight, we’ll rise, against the gallows.
(G Am F C)
We’re the spark, we’re the flame, we’re the echoes,
(Dm Am G F)
We won’t fade, we won’t fade to shadows.

[Ending]
(C Am G F)
We stand strong, we stand proud, we are the echoes,
(Dm Am G F)
We won’t fade, we won’t fade to shadows.
