They sent me here to protect you,
At least, that's what I'd like to think.
You, the pale girl in my every dream,
Her living shadows in every nightmare.

What is it that worries you so?
Though the castle guardians give chase,
I will not let them wrench you from me.
So please, just trust me.

The gates closed, and you squeezed my hand.
I knew there was another way.
The gates opened, and we ran…
But halfway there, you let go.

Even as the misty shadows clenched me, I thought,
I can still protect you now.

I wandered again to find you here,
And I fought to live to let us both free.
We nearly died, but you know what?
…I think my freedom has come at last…

I think I'm cold, but am I dying?
I think I'm moving, so I must be alive.
The battle is over now, and we're free,
And I can still protect you as I sleep.
