Only in the dark, the distant dark
The ****** waits in patient silence
Watching, listening, as life passes by
Memories drift the hours into days
Letting the mind play its tortured game
Somewhere in the past, a child plays
Innocent in life as the changing times ahead
Till that day destiny seeks him, as destiny seeks all
The child has gone, dead for a time
Now death follows him
Watching for that weakness of mortal man
Time is running out
He knows that
His enemy know it too
That slight movement
He’s a child again
Innocent
The shot hits the target
So strange, no sound
No laughter to be found
The child has gone
Destiny has found him
