Midnight shadows creep, in the desert of my mind
I see the faces, hear the cries I left behind
Dust settles on my soul, whispers in the wind
The demons of Iraq, where the nightmares begin
They call my name, they know my pain
Tempting the monster, driving me insane
In the silence, they scream so loud
In the darkness, I'm lost, I’m cowed
Demons of the Iraq war, tearing at my soul
Tempting the monster in me, losing all control
Can't run from the shadows, they're a part of me
Haunted by the memories, never breaking free
Blood-stained sand, echoes of the fight
In my dreams, the battles rage every night
Brotherhood in chaos, now it's just a ghost
Living with these scars, the ones that hurt the most
They call my name, they know my pain
Tempting the monster, driving me insane
In the silence, they scream so loud
In the darkness, I'm lost, I’m cowed
Demons of the Iraq war, tearing at my soul
Tempting the monster in me, losing all control
Can't run from the shadows, they're a part of me
Haunted by the memories, never breaking free
I'm fighting with the darkness, trying to find the light
But the ghosts of war are stronger, pulling me into the night
Every step I take, they're dragging me back down
Can't escape the madness, in this war-torn battleground
Demons of the Iraq war, tearing at my soul
Tempting the monster in me, losing all control
Can't run from the shadows, they're a part of me
Haunted by the memories, never breaking free
Midnight shadows fade, but the scars remain
Living with the echoes, of a war-time pain
Demons of Iraq, forever in my head
Tempting the monster, wishing I was dead
