CHILD OF SHADOWS

Child of shadows

Born of night

Never able

To see the light

Some despise him

They think his existence is not right

If hunted

He takes flight

They say that to mankind

He is a blight

To him simply to survive

Is a constant fight

He can drain your blood

With just one bite

He shall stalk you, make you prey

If to him you are a plight

If you walk by day you are safe

For he walks alone at night

Child of shadows

Born of night

Never able

To see the light
