Shadow Protector

Verse 1

He moves in silence, I don’t hear a sound,

Names on his list don’t come back around.

Every hand that tried to break me down—

He’s already six feet under the ground.

Pre-Chorus

Never see his face, only the mask,

But I know he’s mine, tied to my past.

Chorus

He’s my shadow, haunting me,

Killing ghosts I’ll never see.

Bleeding for me in the night,

Gone by dawn, out of sight.

He’s my savior, he’s my curse,

I crave him but it just gets worse.

He’s my shadow, haunting me—

Forever chasing endlessly.

Verse 2

A ghost in the alley, blood on his hands,

Protecting my heart in ways I can’t stand.

Every scream that haunted me fades,

But he’s still a secret I can’t persuade.

Pre-Chorus

I try to follow, he slips away,

A fleeting shadow at break of day.

Chorus

He’s my shadow, haunting me,

Killing ghosts I’ll never see.

Bleeding for me in the night,

Gone by dawn, out of sight.

He’s my savior, he’s my curse,

I crave him but it just gets worse.

He’s my shadow, haunting me—

Forever chasing endlessly.

Bridge

Every life he takes feels like a vow,

But behind that mask, I’ll never know how.

I want to touch him, to hear his name,

But all that lingers is smoke and flame.

Final Chorus

He’s my shadow, haunting me,

Killing ghosts I’ll never see.

Bleeding for me in the night,

Gone by dawn, out of sight.

He’s my angel dressed in black,

Always here, then fading back.

He’s my shadow, haunting me—

Forever chasing endlessly.

Outro

Silent steps, a trail of red,

Protecting me with words unsaid.

Here then gone, just like a dream…

The shadow lives, but stays unseen.
