Shadow Born
There is a shadow that fallows me
The shadows have taken all that come near me
for I live in the dark
where once I dwelled in the light
the darkness that lived inside me
has now become me
there is a lust for blood,
a fury that nothing can sate
this darkness that was once a shadow
is now the fangs of midnights unholy creature
a changeling that takes the form of everything and nothing
both corporeal and at the same time a incorporeal mist
tearing into me, ripping my flesh from my body
as it eats my liver and devours my heart
there is nothing I can do but still I fight
with hands that have turned to claws
and teeth that tear bite more beast than human
I fight the living dead and the dead that are living
I feel only rage blood lust and fire dwell in my eyes
I was born in the light and there I once dwelled
Now I live in the dark
For I have been reborn
Born in darkness
I
am
the
Shadow
Born
