3 am on a foggy night
where I watch you from the shadows
seeing your face so radiant
in the pale of the moonlit night

I have not yet materialized
for fear of revealing my nature
fear is an abstract construct
that runs through our minds

this I know from my time on earth
which was stolen from me
stolen from me in the prime of my life
in a very gruesome way

chorus:
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'm just a ghost in the foggy night
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'm just a ghost in the foggy night

Was on my way to the rocky bear
when I saw some hooded figures
stalking you in the streets of Dolglade
ready to rob and rape

I interjected with all my might
but alas, I was beaten
beaten within an inch of my life
and left alone to die

kept on going your merry way
clueless to your own plight
arriving at your home safely
in the dead of night

Chorus
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'm just a ghost in the foggy night
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'm just a ghost in the foggy night

I see you turn around
as if you felt my presence
gently brush your auburn hair
you imagine its the wind

kept on going your merry way
reassured there's nothing wrong
walking through the perilous streets
you could not be more mistaken

you catch the eye of every
swine and cad and villain
but I will do what it takes
to make sure you don't fall

chorus:
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'll protect you in my death
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'll protect you in my death

bridge solos

chorus:
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'll protect you in my death
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
I lost my life protecting you
Now I'll protect you in my death
