Drums echo in memory Cold heartbeats, lost cries of the sea As freedom is never free Some pay for who we ought to be Garden of souls, we tend to thee Each bloom a life they've taken for free Rest under these skies of blue Their colors will fade at the coming of fall In the cold of the shade, their roots will stand tall Long as their memories stay true Their beauty shall live on in you Time rushing to pass them by No goodbyes, just flickering fire Blinded by shrieking light They dream for a new day to rise Garden of souls, we tend to thee Each bloom a life they've taken for free Rest under these skies of blue Their colors will fade at the coming of fall In the cold of the shade, their roots will stand tall Long as their memories stay true Their beauty shall live on in you Forever in debt To those who stood stall No shame or regret But only the fear to fall In life or in death They give us the sky As with their last breath Our flag will begin to fly Garden of souls, we tend to thee Each bloom a life they've taken for free Rest under these skies of blue Their colors will fade at the coming of fall In the cold of the shade, their roots will stand tall Long as their memories stay true Long as their memories stay true Long as their memories stay true Their beauty shall live on in you
