Cloak and Dagger

Twitching hands and shifting eyes
Running fast enough to fly
The rushing speed, daredevil danger
Fired by racing thoughts and anger

Tearing through the woods at night
Crystal moons afire with light
Snapping cold and danger calls
My world awakes when shadow falls

Alleyways and blackened woods
Eerie forests, disquieting ‘hoods
Ravens, beasts, torrental rain
Lightning, rust, relentless pain

I am the forest, deep of the night
Cloak and dagger, your darkest fright
I’ve become the lightning, the wolf, a dare
I am the danger of the hour's lairs

I am the city, the streets my home
Abandon places I've made my own
Broken glass, the silence shattered
Poisoned intentions, like razors scattered

The feud of the avenged and torn
In streets grafitti’d, blades well-worn
Wet sidewalks reflect the glowing stars
The laughter rises as we inflict scars

In the woods more battle rages
Script to fill the empty pages
Running from the shaded streets
Overtaking, bringing swift defeat

Victory won over battled strife
Snatched from their hands on this lethal night
Like death that shadows darklit fights
Take on the world with chain and knife

From building-top in pouring rain
Surveying my conquered domain
From treetops with the woods contend
Becoming one, with shadows blend

Concealed within the ghostly gloom
That whispers of impending doom
Wild instincts, for peril lust
Werewolf rises from the dust

Demon child, wild thing
Slashing the night on raven's wings
Untouchable, I challenge the night
Gaining power from your fright

Stalk the city I’ve made my own
Rule the forests that are my home
Indestructible am I
Creature of the haunted night
