Shadow Soldiers Lyrics

So cold and lonely
It seems so long since someone was here
Following the shadows, with the sun 'til it disappears
Thousands of stone white crosses
A formation for all to see
With flags and flames
The ranks and the names of those who died to be free

The fire remains in our hearts
All of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom
We're living on through you

We're the shadow soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

Taken too soon from the lives we loved
A misery I can not explain
Only when we feel your presence
Are we sure we did not die in vain

The fire remains in our hearts
All of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom
Are these words, oh so true
We're living on through you

We're the shadow soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

The fire remains in our hearts
All of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom
We're living on through you

We're the shadow soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all
Shadow soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

Cover art for Shadow Soldiers lyrics by Accept

This is about the ghosts of the soldiers that gave their lives so that we can enjoy our freedoms. They feel that their sacrifices where worth it as long as we remember and acknowledge them.

And yet another outstanding trademark solo courtesy of Wolf Hoffman. The man is a master melodist.
