I'm the one who hides in crowds,
dreaming up the darkest clouds,
in the shadows are my friends,
lying in wait for worlds end,
all the creatures of the night,
come to view when I'm in sight,
I'm the ruler of the shadows,
i rule the darkness and the gallows,
in the sun i am no fun,
when darkness falls you better run,
my friends and i will find you then,
shoot you down,
and drag you back to where you will never again,
see the light,
i am the ruler of the shadows,
it is i who runs the night.
