Ghost Echo

Intro

No footsteps beside you now,

Only the echo coming back somehow.

Verse 1

Lucky Crane is lying where the dead leaves drown the trail,

His whole patrol went silent where the radios all failed.

We pulled the weapons from the cache, Command already counts the gain,

But every prize is colder when it's paid for in the rain.

Venom bled and vanished with the medevac in flight,

Zero Buzzard's voice is all that's left to guide you through the night.

Bridge

No hand on your shoulder,

No second gun to trust,

Just static in the headset

And ghosts inside the dust.

Chorus

Ghost echo, calling through the trees,

A dead man's trail still riding on the frequencies.

Ghost echo, buried in the wire,

Every whispered coordinate is leading us through fire.

They thought they killed the question,

They thought the truth would die,

But every signal leaves a scar

Burning in the sky.

Verse 2

Back to Bai Bien Dep where the recon line was torn,

Back to the town where someone made damn sure none returned.

The Khmer Rouge move sharper now, their answers come too fast,

Their rifles cleaner, timing tighter, shadows better cast.

So find the source behind the voice, the hand behind command,

Maps and codes and relay towers hidden in the jungle land.

Bridge

Don't let them hear you listening,

Don't let them see your face,

If they know we caught the signal,

They'll vanish without trace.

Chorus

Ghost echo, calling through the trees,

A dead man's trail still riding on the frequencies.

Ghost echo, buried in the wire,

Every whispered coordinate is leading us through fire.

They thought they killed the question,

They thought the truth would die,

But every signal leaves a scar

Burning in the sky.

Verse 3

There may be souls still breathing who helped Lucky find the way,

Civilians with the answers that the dead can't ever say.

Engineering ledgers, minefield marks, a chance to clear the path,

A relay station humming like a fuse before the blast.

And if the jungle breaks apart and stealth gives way to war,

Huey's empty armor rolls, and Spooky speaks once more.

Bridge

Maxwell Field is far behind, but Zero hears it all,

A voice inside the darkness when the night begins to crawl.

Someone trained these killers well, someone rich and disciplined,

Someone wants Cambodia sealed before we can look within.

So finish what he started, let the hidden network show,

And when you cut the relay down,

Leave nothing left below.

Chorus

Ghost echo, now the veil is thin,

The dead are still speaking through the static and the wind.

Ghost echo, every pulse revealed,

A secret army growing where the jungle never yields.

Lucky Crane died chasing

The shape behind the lie,

Now we follow through the silence

Till the whole thing comes alive.

Outro

One more call through the headset...

One more light in the green...

Ghost echo...

Still between

The truth...

And what they've seen...
