Songs
Music and Lyrics by Mark van Setten
Sunrise creeping on the window pane
Another day another ache another strain
Got my tea earl grey and hot ready for the fight
Against the monsters that appear in fading light
Something’s lurking just beyond my sight
Twisting dancing taking hold so tight
Chorus
Fighting shadows in the early morning dew
Chasing phantoms nothing really new
Swinging wildly at the empty air
Tell me what exactly do I fight for there
Fighting shadows
I see the enemy a flicker on the wall
Building up my defenses ready for the fall
Screaming at the wind blaming every breeze
Never looking closer never putting me at ease
Something’s hiding deep inside my head
Words unuttered things I left unsaid
Chorus
Fighting shadows in the early morning dew
Chasing phantoms nothing really new
Swinging wildly at the empty air
Tell me what exactly do I fight for there
Fighting shadows
My armor cracks beneath the weight I bear
Another war with nothing really there
Chasing after shapes that twist and fade
Wondering why I fear what my own mind made
A restless feeling pulls me from within
A war I never meant for to begin
Chorus
Fighting shadows in the early morning dew
Chasing phantoms nothing really new
Swinging wildly at the empty air
Tell me what exactly do I fight for there
Fighting shadows
Fighting shadows with myself
Fighting shadows with myself
