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
