Demon,Demon
As shadows lengthen
in the asphalt homeland
The city winds down
The once vibrant streets
are now a home for ghosts
Perhaps you feel that nightime
is "Where it's at"
Take heed of this warning
which I give you
Demons come out at night!
They can cause you to lose
everything
by clutching you in their
deadly grasp
Don't be fooled by the nightime
silence
Demons are still about
and can strike rapidly
even in the midst of the metropolis
Demons live on fresh flesh
So keep your eyes wide open
Don't linger overlong in
city alleyways
lest you dissapear
Into shadow
