A/N: Nope, not the Phantom of the Opera.
Disclaimer: I own Rurouni Kenshin!!! (Yeah, right, I wish. I really don't.)
THE PHANTOM
I am the phantom of the night
The hand who takes the light
The beast which tears life away
Sharing not the delights of day.
Soulless, clueless, heartless
A man without a path
Fearless, careless, reckless
Invoking God's avenging wrath.
I am the phantom in the night.
Who knows not what is right.
Who shamelessly throws his life away
Daring Death to come his way.
A stifled struggle that's endless
Humanity that's pushed aside
Merciless pain that's ceaseless
Some peace, it seems, I'll never find.
I was that phantom in the night
When you came along
And I am a phantom no more.
