Demon In a Shadow

Silent and swift In the shadows you rest Plotting your course of action Your victims are what's next You strike when least expected The light causes you pain Your method of attacking is cowardly But of that you feel no shame In the shadows you delve In sin you find your peace I think I see you coming No it's just the movement of the trees Muscles clench I know you are near Remain calm Of you I have no fear Though you are a demon and indulge in profanity I must be lax I will not resort to insanity My pathways are lonely But only to some extent You seem to be in proximity With me your life is spent Following me cautiously Wishing to do me harm I know I will conquer That is why your presence is of no alarm You laugh with much malice And I return the favor You come very close But your threats have lost their flavor I come to you now When the odds have switched sides Your are now my victim And my victims will die My prey I have made you At my approach you retreat I knock you to the ground And shout "Get on your feet!" Mostly empty bluffs and promises of danger I have been through this before We are familiars, far from actual strangers Return to the shadows from which you came I strike with all might and cast you to the flame A vile creature Your deserve no mercy You tried to cause me pain But your lies do not hurt me I wake up to realize This was all just a dream But it felt so real I could have sworn I heard you scream A nightmare of a demon Who whispers my name You appear so real But you are only in my brain No matter, I dare you To try and strike me once more I am the champion And your corpse I will leave to the floor I await your return Your remarks are very shallow I grow bored of this I come for you demon in the shadow
