Shadows and Corners

Shadows and corners, we search the unknown
Eyes watching you, you are not alone.
Open the door, in you go, room by room, step by step.
Praying you don?t find the enemy, at least not yet
You hear whispering voices from behind the door.
Squad leader says ?no way out from the second floor?
Down the steps your patrol goes and out the door
Not worth the risk to see what?s there
Squad is still alive, that?s all I care
We continue to patrol door to door
Still wondering what?s in store.
Shadows and corners in this foreign place
Don?t feel safe approaching the staircase.
Weapons at the ready for any attack.
Your entire squad watching their backs.
Uneasy feeling looking at the windows above
Eyes in the shadows of those we are trying to get rid of.
