Like a thief within the shadows
He's hiding from the light
Like a wolf within the meadow
Lurking in the night
Predator waits for prey
And now he's biding time
The clock ticks life away
Ever closer to the crime
Ever nearer to an ending
To the end of someone's life
Someone's doom is now impending
At the edge of hidden knife
Hidden deep within the shadow
An assassin lurks in wait
Like the wolf within the meadow
His prey unknowing of their fate
His hands are fast as lightning
His eyes as sharp as his blade
His muscles tensing, tightening
Remaining hidden in the shade
An assassin in the shadows
Grips his knife's hilt tight
Like the wolf within the meadow
He'll strike when the time is right
