You Tried So Hard

This one’s for you, Chester…
Your voice lives on…

You walked the path, you fought the fight
Through the shadows, you brought the light
Your voice, a beacon in the pain
A melody in the pouring rain
You gave us words when we had none
A shattered soul, but you were the sun
Now the echoes of your song remain
A legacy etched in the scars of our veins

You gave it all, you bled it out
Reached for the stars, through the doubt
Every scream, every fall
In the end, you gave us it all

You tried so hard, and got so far
But in the end, the weight was too much to carry
You had to fall, but you gave us all
A voice that will never fade, never bury

Yo, Chester, your words were our escape
When the world felt like a cage, you opened the gate
You screamed for the broken, the lost, the unseen
A voice for the silent, a fire in the dream
But the demons you fought, they pulled you deep
Now we’re left with the memories, the songs we keep
Your light still burns, though the night is long
In every note, we hear your song

You gave it all, you bled it out
Reached for the stars, through the doubt
Every scream, every fall
In the end, you gave us it all

You tried so hard, and got so far
But in the end, the weight was too much to carry
You had to fall, but you gave us all
A voice that will never fade, never bury

Maybe the pain was too much to bear
But your music lives on, it’s everywhere
In every scream, in every tear
We feel you here, we feel you near
(Heavy breakdown: guitars wailing, drums pounding)
We’ll carry your light, we’ll scream your name
Chester, your fire will never fade

You tried so hard, and got so far
But in the end, the weight was too much to carry
You had to fall, but you gave us all
A voice that will never fade, never bury

So here we stand, beneath the sky
With your songs, we’ll never say goodbye
You tried so hard, you reached so far
But in our hearts, you’re our guiding star…
Rest in peace, Chester…
Your voice lives on…
