In the darkness of the night
Under a veil of shadows I fight
Banishing evil from our unsafe streets
Trying to hold back the encroaching spirits.

Striking with no sense of fear
With such fury I have become revered.
One ghoul after another falls under my knife’s edge
Relentlessly seeking the architect to this insurgence

Yet nothing contained within this war
And no experience from my life before
Could have prepared me for the answers I would find
Could have prevented me from being so blind.

All these years in the abyss
Far from any human eyes
Champion to this valiant cause
Believing nothing could change who I was

The dark destroyer of whom I seek
Is standing no further than my feet
I have become no better than the beast
As each night on demons I feast

When pain and suffering is not shared
And there’s no one left who cares
Your soul is overrun and consumed
Now this darkness can never be removed

A devil to my own kind
My vengeance has taken my mind
I can never return to the life I once lead
Like my prey I am nothing but.. the living dead
