Shadows of my Yesterday

80s Heavy Metal Power Ballad

The Story

A deep dive into the void that remains when the lights go out. “Shadows of My Yesterday” is a high-octane Heavy Metal Power Ballad that captures the raw intensity of the 80s.

Lyrics

The clock is ticking on the wall
I’m waiting for the shadows to fall
The silence is a heavy sound
Since you’re no longer around
I reach for you in the empty air
But there’s only coldness everywhere

And I can feel the fire start to fade
Lost in the choices that we made
The light is growing dim tonight
I’m losing hope, I’m losing sight!

Oh, I miss you! Like the desert misses rain!
I’m calling out! Your name through the pain!
A thousand miles, a million tears
Haunted by the ghost of all these years
Yeah, I’m screaming! To the sky above
For one last moment of your love!

The photographs have turned to grey
Watching the memories slip away
I’m walking through this lonely hall
Still waiting for your final call
The world keeps moving, fast and loud
But I’m just a face within the crowd

Oh, I miss you! Like the desert misses rain!
I’m calling out! Your name through the pain!
A thousand miles, a million tears
Haunted by the ghost of all these years
Yeah, I’m screaming! To the sky above
For one last moment of your love!
