[Verse 1]
Hidden in the hinterlands
Of Eastern California
Far beyond the ivory sands
Where there's no one there to warn you
About the ghosts of the Gold Rush
Their spirits forever broken
Who hide out there among the hush
Of secrets never spoken

[Chorus]
Echo Canyon
A test of wits and will
Echo Canyon
Where truth and time stand still

[Verse 2]
A down, dry block of barren land
Between the mountain ranges
Singed by the devil's hand
In a scene that seldom changеs
A patchwork torn to pieces
Warm winds and sailing stones
Sun that nеver ceases
And the dust of miner's bones

[Chorus]
Echo Canyon
A test of wits and will
Echo Canyon
Where truth and time stand still

[Bridge]
Dreams of prospectors
That died upon the sand
Eternal specters
In a desolate land

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Echo Canyon
A test of wits and will
Echo Canyon
Where truth and time stand still
Echo Canyon
A test of wits and will
Echo Canyon
Where truth and time stand still

[Outro]
Where truth and time stand still
Where truth and time stand still
