Shadow on the Fire ©2026 by ContempoJedi [Verse 1] You move like smoke in the midnight air Sweet talk drippin’ like honeyed prayer Eyes say yes but your hands say run Playing with heat like a loaded gun You pull me close, then you let me fall Say you don’t need me — need me at all Every promise you whisper low Burns like sugar on skin and bone [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel that tension rising Underneath your velvet lies [Chorus] You got a shadow on the fire (Don’t think I don’t see) You got a hunger in your smile (Trying to dance with me) You keep turning up the wire Till the sparks run wild Shadow on the fire Driving me wild [Verse 2] Rhythm shaking the concrete floor Your heels echo through every door You say love’s just a game you play But your heartbeat gives you away Round and round like carnival lights Pull me in then you dim the night You taste like sin and summer rain Every kiss got a little chain [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel that pressure building Like a storm behind your eyes [Chorus] You got a shadow on the fire (Don’t think I don’t see) You got a hunger in your smile (Trying to dance with me) You keep turning up the wire Till the sparks run wild Shadow on the fire Driving me wild [Bridge] Every flame leaves ashes behind Every thrill got a warning sign If I stay I might lose control But your rhythm’s inside my soul [Final Chorus – Bigger, Higher Energy] You got a shadow on the fire (Burning through me now) You got a hunger in your smile (Don’t know when, don’t know how) You keep turning up the wire Till the sparks run wild Shadow on the fire Driving me wild
