Chase the Shadow

Temptation's beast is on the prowl Underneath the moon's eerie scowl Piercing eyes that paralyze Whispers that weave deceitful lies [Chorus] I'm fighting a battle within these walls Desire’s claw that grips and mauls So run from the shadows that lurk 'Cause it feels like I'm chained to my fears, you see [Bridge] Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh It feels like a maze in the dark What happened to strength in my heart? Twisted whispers call my name Leading me down a path of shame But I won't be the prey tonight I'll light my torch, I'll take the fight [Chorus] Throwing punches in the air Against the beast from the devil's lair It's a race against my own sin Heartbeats echo, like a drum in the din In the mirror, the monster's reflection But I won't yield to this vile deception [Verse 3] With every step, I'm drawin' the line Shakin' off doubts, reclaimin' what's mine My resolve's been put through the test Fighting demons that don't rest But in this heart, there's fires that burn Temptation's tide, I will turn Pre-Chorus] I've seen the beast with its gnashing teeth As it stalks the night, on a hunt, a deadly feast But my spirit's strong, my will, it breathes I'll escape this hold, break the chains, I'll be released [Chorus] So I'll rise, with eyes wide open wide Unleash my will, under the starlit sky I won't succumb to this nocturnal beast I'll cut through the darkness with the edge of my blade Adrenaline coursing, I'm no longer afraid Grit in my teeth, fist ready to detonate I'm charging ahead, no time to hesitate [Pre-Chorus] Breath like thunder, heart's a pounding drum Marching through the shadows, from this nightmare I'll run
