Storm in the Shadows

Prowl like a phantom through alleys of dread Footsteps tap rhythms while the streetlights bled Smoke from the sewers twists a serpent's grin Brick Jungle whispers tales soaked in sin Shadows dance Where the echoes creep Tomorrow's dreams buried six Feet deep Steel claws grip the midnight scroll Marionette strings tied to the soul Concrete veins Pulse the city's alive The heart beats jagged where Hunger survives Words cut sharper than a diamond Blade History written in a scar's cascade Flickering Neons cast ghosts in rage A thousand stories locked In a cage A crown for the fallen, paper Mache Thrown in the fire just to light the Way Signals crackle, distortion blooms Code of the Hustlers, secrets in tombs Eyes like daggers spark Under moons Writing my saga in freight train fumes Shadows dance where the echoes creep Tomorrow's Dreams buried six feet deep Steel claws grip the Midnight scroll Marionette strings tied to the soul
