The sound or their footsteps died as the door closed behind them.

And when the sound had finally died away, he sat stunned.

The sound had died away, his head was free of the pain.

The sound of the dance band died away behind them.

The sounds of battle had died away, in the last few minutes.

When the sound died away he turned to me quickly.

But ten minutes later all these sounds had died away.

The sound of the car died away quickly in the damp night air.

The sound of their pounding feet died away in the distance.

At length all were gone, and the sound of their feet died away in the distance.
