Goodbye Shadow

Moonlight shining on her face

I gotta leave this place

Shadows whisper in the night

Her eyes still burning bright

Heart heavy soldier's call

Will she stand will she fall

Chains around her soul so tight

In that house with no light

Gotta hold on please be strong

Even when the nights are long

Wish I could take her pain away

But duty calls won't let me stay

Bruises that she tries to hide

In the cold he keeps her tied

Whispers broken silent screams

In her dreams I see her dreams

Marching forward grit my teeth

While her cries echo beneath

Promise broken skies turn gray

How can I protect her this way

Gotta hold on please be strong

Even when the nights are long

Wish I could take her pain away

But duty calls won't let me stay
