Shadows

The shadows are here
They march down the streets
Crying out, but no one hears

The shadows are calling
Darkness is answering
They’re dancing now

When the shadows strike
Silence and steel scream
There’s nowhere to run

What are the shadows
Saying, why are they
Whispering secrets to no one

Burning and fighting
The shadows will not leave
They do not bleed or die

Why are they weeping
The shadows cannot sleep
It’s so empty inside of here
