Whispers of the Wasted by Ed Monix's Bad Knee

Written and Produced by Ronald Allen Bell and G-Dawg Trading~  [Intro] (Spoken) In a world gone mad, listen close... [Verse 1] They’re shouting on the airwaves, madness on parade, Promises like smoke rings, fading unafraid. Echoes of ambition, lost in the machine, Dancing on the ashes of the dreams we’ve seen. [Chorus] Hey, can you hear the whispers of the wasted? Voices in the darkness, all our hopes are fated. In the land of the brave, we’ve built a shallow grave, Tell me, what’s the price of all the lives we’ve traded? [Verse 2] Paper kings and queens rise from the wreckage tall, Spinning webs of lies, while the truth starts to fall. Children in the shadows, they learn to play the game, With shackles made of choices, they’re never quite the same. [Bridge] Like a ghost that’s haunting, in the dead of night, Restless hearts are searching for the fading light. Can we find redemption, in this tug of war? Or are we just the echoes of a never-ending score? [Chorus] Hey, can you hear the whispers of the wasted? Voices in the darkness, all our hopes are fated. In the land of the brave, we’ve built a shallow grave, Tell me, what’s the price of all the lives we’ve traded? [Solo] (Guitar solo over the chorus progression) [Chorus] Hey, can you hear the whispers of the wasted? Voices in the darkness, all our hopes are fated. In the land of the brave, we’ve built a shallow grave, Tell me, what’s the price of all the lives we’ve traded? [Outro] (Talk off) In the end, we stand divided, only when will we unite? The echoes of our choices, shall ring into the night.
