I gave you my blood, I gave you my name
Now I'm just a shadow drowning in rain
I see your face in the mirror's glow
But I'm just a ghost and you let me go
I was a man with fire in my chest
Built a kingdom, gave you the best
But the walls came down, the crown turned to dust
Now I crawl through the ashes of broken trust
You took my hands, then you let 'em go
Left me drowning in the undertow
Now I'm screaming, but you just stare
Like I was never even there
Oh, I fought for you, I bled for you
Died a thousand times, but you never knew!
Now I'm a ghost in the storm!
Callin' your name but you feel no warmth!
I gave you all, now I'm left with the pain
A man burned out in the cold, cold rain!
I built you a kingdom, you tore it down!
Left me to die, never turned around!
Now I'm a ghost in the storm!
Screaming for love that will never be born!
You swore forever, but you meant till the fall
Left me staring at these empty walls
Every promise? Just a game you played
Like a candle snuffed, I fade away
Now I walk through the wreckage alone
Every dream I had turned to stone
Was it love? Was it all a lie?
Did I die for nothing just to watch you fly?
Oh, I fought for you, I bled for you
Died a thousand times, but you never knew!
Now I'm a ghost in the storm!
Callin' your name but you feel no warmth!
I gave you all, now I'm left with the pain
A man burned out in the cold, cold rain!
I built you a kingdom, you tore it down!
Left me to die, never turned around!
Now I'm a ghost in the storm!
Screaming for love that will never be born!
I see you standing bathed in light
While I fade away into the night
No more war, no more pain
Just the whisper of my name
Now I'm a ghost in the storm
Callin' your name but you're already gone
I gave you all, now I'm left with the pain
A man burned out in the cold, cold rain
