Shadowed Nights of a Warrior

Silent scars run deep, in shadows they hide A Marines soul, worn and battered inside

Two tours overseas, fought through the storm Came back home, but the battle's still on Physical wounds fade, but mind's eternal fight Darkness whispers in the dead of night

Put on a smile, hide the pain away

Faith in God keeps the fears at bay

Riding through fields, where demons roam Horse becomes a refuge, a way home

In this dark country rain, she rides alone Fiddle echoing her silent cries, her unknown War in her heart, but she keeps it concealed Holding onto the faith that keeps her healed

Demon’s shadow lingers, but she won't show In the saddle, she finds a fragile hope to grow Behind the mask, a warrior’s prayer Silent strength, carried out of despair

So she rides, through night and dawn

With faith and horse, she's not truly gone War within, but she still fights

A hero cloaked in shadowed nights
