Prisoner of the Night

I walk the streets so endlessly

Wandering where they cannot see

Fight my way through the struggle and strife

But I've become - a prisoner of the night

An alley cat so strong and proud

Sometimes you have to run and hide before you pounce

I look straight into the glow of his eyes

And he knows I'm a prisoner of the night

With a swish of his tail he is gone

And save for my shadow I'm alone

But the feeling of danger is there

Like a cat I crouch and stare

I'll go down fighting all the way

The hair on my neck stands like his would

And there is cold steel at my side

Please do not force my hand

Cause I will end your life

The stars look on indifferently

Then I awaken from my dreams

It is the afternoon, it's all slipped away from me

People walk, the city bustles with life

But soon enough I'll be a prisoner of the night
