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 [bad word] for another night 

Don't I look [bad word] to you 
when my weapons are retracted? 
Please stay clear of my boundaries. So unwise to corner me 
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  [bad word] 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
