shadows that dance in the pale moonlight

shadows that dance in the pale moonlight
darkness that consumes the city like a predator on prey
a time where the dark overpowers the light
the light that stands for good
right
peace
night is where evil stands up
where death claims its victims
where everything white is hunted down
consumed until darkness remains
people had no hope in the dark
with no light, they were lost
they waited
waited to be found
they knew it was only a matter of time
but there in the darkness
in the deepest shadows of the alley
a small light shines
four brothers that face evil at night
to them, the darkness brings peace
safety
in the light they are hunted
in the light they are the prey
but at night they are feared
they are the predator
they bring hope for the lost
those lost in the dark
they defend those who can not
show people that not all dark is tainted by blood
they are like a fire
meant to be feared
one brother is the flames
he hungrily consumes the evil
one brother is the flame within
he burns the brightest and is never touched
one brother is the light of the fire
he burns around the others, bringing light to the flames
one brother is the fuel
he brings energy to fire to keep it strong
together they are the fire
together they bring hope in the night
many say the night brings nothing but pain
only night brings darkness
and they are right
but if you look up
look to the rooftops
there, outlined by the pale moon
is the fire of the night
