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
