Monsters in My Shadow

[Verse 1]
In the forest where the cold wind bites
I hear whispers
Shadows take flight
Monsters creeping in the midnight glow
I fight with fire
I’ll never let it show

Blood on my hands
But it’s not my sin
I dance with demons
I won’t let them win
A crown of thorns
A blade of ice
This war’s my home
I don’t think twice

[Prechorus]
He’s a storm I shouldn’t chase
A forbidden fire I can’t erase

[Chorus]
Monsters in my shadow
They scream my name
I’m a warrior in a broken game
Love’s a dagger
Sharp and deep
But I can’t stop
I can’t sleep

[Verse 2]
Rivers run red where my tears should flow
The earth cracks open
It’s all I know
I’m cursed to love what I cannot keep
He’s the ghost that haunts me when I weep

I see his eyes in the blackened sky
A warning or a promise
I can’t decide
I strike the beasts
But his face appears
A love so fierce it drowns my fears
