Slender lines of darkness,
The city: a silent place,
Shadows overtaking,
A villain without a face.
Creeping into corners,
Surrounding every nook,
Slanting like a kiss of death,
Taunting every crook.
Harsh and fierce blackness,
The Shadows overwhelm,
The city's taken over,
With the Shadows at the helm.
'Beware! The Shadows are coming!'
The soft cry echoes out,
A cry of noise unwelcome,
It's so silent, it's a shout.
