Discover the story of the song > Shadow Soldiers – Accept

This song is about soldiers who have died for their country and the lasting impact they have had. The protagonist describes how cold and lonely it has been since someone was last here. They follow the shadows until the sun disappears and see thousands of white crosses that represent those who have died. The fire of remembrance and dreams of freedom still burn in their hearts. They believe that as long as they remember and honor the fallen soldiers, they are still alive in a way. The song repeats that they are the "shadow soldiers" who are standing tall even though they are laid to rest, and they give their all for the freedom that their fallen comrades fought for.
