"Shadow"

Verse 1 Footsteps soft where the leaves don’t speak Moonlight thin and the branches creak Breath held low, let the whole world fade Move like smoke where the dark is laid No roar loud, no warning sign Just a flick of your tail in time Yellow eyes in the midnight glow You don’t follow — you know where to go Stillness heavy, the tension tight Every muscle coiled to strike I don’t pull, I don’t command You read the shift of my open hand We don’t chase what we can’t outrun We wait until the moment comes Silent pulse in the forest’s throat One shared rhythm we never wrote Pre-Chorus No words said, no need to speak Trust built slow, sharp and sleek Chorus Now we move— vanish, flash Claw and steel in a single dash Tailblade cutting the midnight air Strike so fast they don’t know we’re there Step for step in perfect flow I lean, you spin, we drop them low No wasted breath, no wasted sound Two shadows turning the battleground Verse 2 You don’t beg for praise or flame Don’t bow your head, don’t play the game You stand apart, but stand with me Close enough that the dark can’t see Ears that twitch at a breaking twig Eyes that narrow, focus big I learned your tells, the subtle shift The way your shoulders start to lift You test my pace, I match your stride No sudden moves, no need to hide When you turn your back in trust That’s louder than a battle’s rush We don’t need the light to guide We’ve got instinct side by side Where others fear what they can’t trace We find our calm in shadowed space Pre-Chorus Heartbeat slow, the air runs thin The quiet’s where we always win Chorus Now we move— vanish, flash Claw and steel in a single dash Tailblade carving a silver line Your strike lands right as I land mine Shift and feint, then reappear You hit high while I cut near No wasted breath, no wasted sound Two shadows owning sacred ground Bridge Still… Just the wind between the trees One low growl that rides the breeze Knees bent low, your body primed The world slows down inside my mind Three… two… We don’t rush what we can read One small spark is all we need Gone. Final Chorus Now we move— blur and break Leave only silence in our wake Claw and steel, a mirrored art One swift motion, a single heart Step for step, we strike and go No grand display, no need to show In darkest night where few would tread Shadow walks where I am led
