Shadow Of The Day Lyrics

I think this song is about a soldier leaving home. The first verse is through the soldier's point of view as he is leaving home and is saying goodbye. In the second verse, I think the soldier has been seriously injured and in a critical state. His family and friends have sent him cards to wish him well. As for his ultimate fate, I'm gonna say he died as the chorus has a kind of tribute-y feel to it. "The sun will set for you" to me means that the world will honour the sacrifice this soldier made.

..just what i was thinking

i agree
