Echoes In The Dark
Uriah Heep · Acoustically Driven [2003]
I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light
Far beyond the
Shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist
Of daybreak I was borne
But the day was
Clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light
Though I'd love to
Say hello to you
You might have to wait awhile
To say goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again
The day of darkness
Comes to every man
And lingers while he
Reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend
A friend ...
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light
Far beyond the
Shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist
Of daybreak I was borne
But the day was
Clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light
Though I'd love to
Say hello to you
You might have to wait awhile
To say goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again
The day of darkness
Comes to every man
And lingers while he
Reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend
A friend ...
Echoes In The Dark
Uriah Heep's "Echoes In The Dark" stands as a defining track from their 2003 acoustic compilation, "Acoustically Driven." Released during a period where the band revisited their classic rock roots, the song exemplifies their signature blend of hard rock and blues-infused melodies. Featuring the iconic dual-guitar harmonies and driving rhythms characteristic of the group's mid-1970s peak, the recording captures the raw energy that made them a staple of the British rock scene. This version serves as a testament to their enduring ability to deliver powerful, emotive performances, bridging the gap between their legendary status and their continued relevance in the modern era.
