Echoes of Despair

Beat Blays

Compositor: Douglas Joekel Vaz / Rafael Machado de Cristo / Beat Blays / Suno

I woke up one day, the sky was gray
Felt the chill as I went on my way
Lost my hand, it slipped through sand
Couldn’t understand, couldn’t withstand

Sought the man, the mystic 221
Said he’d help, before the day was done
With a spell, from a distant past
Hoped my fate, could be recast

Oh, the pain (the pain), inside my brain (my brain)
Prayed to regain (regain), what was lost in vain (in vain)
Echoes of despair (despair), linger in the air (the air)
Fate so unfair (unfair), left me in despair (despair)

Through the woods, I found his lair
Spoke the words, with utmost care
Felt the power, felt the strain
Hoped my hand, would come again

Darkness fell, the magic swirled
Promises of a different world
Fingers touched, but not the same
An empty hand, a hollow name

Oh, the pain (the pain), inside my brain (my brain)
Prayed to regain (regain), what was lost in vain (in vain)
Echoes of despair (despair), linger in the air (the air)
Fate so unfair (unfair), left me in despair (despair)

In the end, just shadows remain
No relief from the endless pain
221, a twisted jest
Left me broken, failed the test

Oh, the pain (the pain), inside my brain (my brain)
Prayed to regain (regain), what was lost in vain (in vain)
Echoes of despair (despair), linger in the air (the air)
Fate so unfair (unfair), left me in despair (despair)

Now I roam, a soul so lost
Paid the price, at too high a cost
Handless, hopeless, shadows grow
In the darkness, forever low
