Silent Assassin
by Ddoskocil
-----------------------------------------------------------

The darkness is my home, my ally, my comfort.
You think you are safe in the streetlamp light,
but I know differently, I know you are not safe.
Only I am safe under the cover of dark

Your fear me,
rightly so.

My dagger has killed more than I care to count.
No one escapes when I am on his trail.
Every person that is targeted is dealt with.
No one every gets away from me.

You fear me,
rightly so.

I am Death
that hides in the shadows
I am Silence
that creeps in the night
I am Fear
that stalks in the street

I've played the game and I survived.
I've become the best with only one equal
and he died at the end of my blade.
Yet his message to me stayed in my mind.

You fear me,
rightly so.

And yet all I have done has no meaning
