Assassins Of The Night

Assassins of the night, trying to take one's breath in his sleep 
Lurking in the shadow like a coward till the night is deep 
That noxious gray mist they cast that stops his breath 
Like lazy crows that feed on someone else's death 

But by grace of God he must survive
May the light of tomorrow arrive
