Lyrics

The shadows stretch just beneath the trees
Every step is like a dark memory.
The wounds that bleed from both the skin and soul
Whispered voices that won’t let go.
There’s a silent pain I now wear alone
In the dark there are no comforts known.
Every breath is a heavy cost
I walk through a world that I’ve lost.

Wounds and whispers they pull me back
Down a long and haunted track.
I can hear the cries of the fallen
Calling out for me to come and fight.
But I push against the raging tide
Hide the tears that I’ve cried inside.
Through the storm and the bitter rain
Still I will rise and stand again.

Faces flash behind my closed eyes
Silent screams and forgotten lies.
My heartbeat drowns in the endless rain
Trapped inside of my endless pain.
The memories of the fight are thorns that cling
Every loss is a bitter sting.
Yet I press through the ache and fear
Hoping one day the healing appears.

Wounds and whispers so soft and low
Telling me things I need to know.
Of the war the names I can’t forget
And the vows I hold close with deep regret.
Yet the new morning still calls my name
Burning through the night like a dark flame.
Every step is slow and small
But a step beyond the ground and fall.

Every scar is a story told
A silent strength in the winter cold.
Though the past still haunts my way
I’m alive to see today.

Still rising slowly from ash and dust
Reclaiming hope regaining trust.
Though the night has tried to blind my sight
I will rise and leave the dark behind.

The haunting winds hold your voices as they fade
I am more than the wounds displayed.
Every step I will take what is mine
Breaking through the ties that bind
