Echoes of Time is the debut single by Amestris and marks the beginning of the artist's musical journey. Blending alternative music with atmospheric sound design and expressive storytelling, the song explores themes of memory, resilience, hope, and the passage of time.
Rather than looking back with nostalgia alone, Echoes of Time reflects on the choices that shape our lives and the values that endure through change. It speaks about perseverance, kindness, love, and the strength found in the human spirit, reminding listeners that while time continues to move forward, the meaning of our actions can remain.
Produced by Poria Maftoon and featuring lyrics by Matilda Johansson, the song combines cinematic textures with an intimate vocal performance to create an emotional listening experience. As the first official release by Amestris, it introduces the artistic direction that will continue to evolve through future projects.
Following the release of Echoes of Time, Amestris is currently working on the second single, "Ashes in the Static", scheduled for release in mid-December 2026. While the debut focuses on memory and personal resilience, the upcoming release expands the artistic vision by addressing the lasting human consequences of war through a blend of soft rock and electronic music.

Echoes of Time
The clock is turning, dust on the page,
Footsteps fading, lost in the haze.
But truth remains, carved in stone,
Through every storm, we're not alone.
We rise, we fall, we live, we learn,
Through the flames, we return.
A choice to make, a path to find,
Echoes of time, in heart and mind.
Time! It never waits, it never dies,
But honor lives beyond the skies!
Through the dark, through the pain,
Love will heal and rise again!
The years may steal what eyes can see,
But they can't take what's inside me.
Kindness stands when kingdoms fall,
The strongest chains are built too small.
We rise, we fall, we live, we learn,
Through the flames, we return.
A choice to make, a path to find,
Echoes of time, in heart and mind.
Time! It never waits, it never dies,
But honor lives beyond the skies!
Through the dark, through the pain,
Love will heal and rise again!
The hands of fate will spin and turn,
But in our souls, the fire burns.
The past may whisper, but we decide,
To shape the course of time.
Time! It never waits, it never dies,
But honor lives beyond the skies!
Through the dark, through the pain,
Love will heal and rise again!
