Howling in the Shadows of War

(Edward McBride)

This is about the deep and painful experience of serving in the military and the lasting impact it has on one's life. The emotional and psychological toll that war takes on individuals is profound and often difficult to express. The internal conflict and struggles of veterans. The haunting memories of war, the moral dilemmas, and the unseen scars of battle are palpable in the lyrics. The weight of having to make life-and-death decisions in combat and the trauma resulting from those experiences are portrayed vividly here. The chorus speaks volumes about the message I am trying to convey--the devastating impact of war. The music is a source of solace and a coping mechanism. The guitar and singing serve as a form of therapy.

I served my country, fought the fight
Now the echoes haunt me every night
Explosions, traps, tools of pain
Scenes of battle are etched in my brain

Took a life, a young boy’s hand
His Kalashnikov, a deadly stand
The horror of war, not in plain sight
These are the shadows I carry in the night

Chorus
War is bad, War is sad
Stealing lives, does anyone really care?
War is cruel, war is mad
Leaves scars that no one’s aware

My refuge now is in my strings
Guitar chords and the songs they bring
Melodies hide the pain I bear
A camouflage for the hurt I wear

Can’t trust myself in loves embrace
Fearing connections, leaving no trace
Only my loyal Cody by my side
In the darkness, where I often hide

Chorus
War is bad, war is sad
Stealing lives, does anyone really care?
War is cruel, war is mad
Leaves scars that no one’s aware

Outro: 
In the rhythm, in the rhyme
My solace found in this space and time
For the war I fought, the price I paid
In these melodies, my soul serenade
