The Ballad of Ghost

[Verse]
Through the shadows rides a name
Ghost they call him so
Sword of iron in his hands
His steps are soft but slow
He's a scourge to beast and man
They'll flee when they hear his name
Still he walks the lonely road
His heart a steady flame
[Chorus]
Oh
Ghost
Oh
Ghost
The fierce and the kind
A shield for the weak
With wrath in his mind
The world may tremble
But he'll never stay
Through blood and shadows
He keeps beasts at bay
[Verse]
From the hills to valley low
His legend starts to grow
Tales of claws and sharpened teeth
Of men who've met his blow
Lone wolf on the trail
No throne to claim as his
His victories taste bitter
For peace is all he wishes
[Chorus]
Oh
Ghost
Oh
Ghost
The fierce and the kind
A shield for the weak
With wrath in his mind
The world may tremble
But he'll never stay
Through blood and shadows
He keeps beasts at bay
[Verse]
The villages look upon him with glances ripe with fear
They see the monster's hunter
But no savior standing here
For what is left of a man who'll give the fight his soul?
A shadow without light
His life a wounded toll
[Bridge]
Yet he doesn’t falter
No
He’ll never show
That the weight upon his shoulders is more than he'll ever know
The beasts grow stronger
And men grow cruel
But Ghost keeps swinging
No time to be the fool
