Shadows Marching On

[Verse]
The sky bleeds gray where the sun once burned
Boots on the ground but the road won’t turn
A whisper breaks where silence screamed
The echoes of a shattered dream

[Chorus]
March on march on the shadows grow
The drums beat heavy where hope won’t go
The earth it trembles the sky it weeps
March on march on where the darkness sleeps

[Verse 2]
Flags hang limp as the cold winds cry
The weight of loss in a soldier’s eye
Footsteps lost in the rhythm of pain
Chained to a war that calls our name

[Prechorus]
Is this the cost of the life we claim
Or just the shadow of our shame

[Chorus]
March on march on the shadows grow
The drums beat heavy where hope won’t go
The earth it trembles the sky it weeps
March on march on where the darkness sleeps

[Bridge]
Brass screams loud like a mother’s wail
Strings hum low like a mournful tale
The choir rises like ghosts in the mist
An anthem of sorrow clenched in a fist
