Shadowmancer

Unnoticed, I slip outside

Tiptoe through the corridors,

close to the walls

Cross over reluctantly, cast another glance

Outside the streets await a guest

all too familiar

On the corner, in the alley

Tidal waves of stimuli bringing

every nerve to life

Walking on a ledge

Nine lives on the razor's edge

Shadowmancer, play the light

Companions for another night

Don't I look trustworthy to you

when my weapons are retracted?

Please stay clear of my boundaries. So unwise to corner me

A simple lesson learnt and you keep your eyes to see

I am of kings and queens, predator with eyes of green

Meet the eye with elegance, turn my back in arrogance

Raise my head with endless pride, still I'm not too proud to hide

Egyptian demigod

Cruel and kind

Creature of the night

I've earned my place in history but superstition followed me

Call me vampire, witch's friend.

It won't kill me, and I'll be right here till I fade
