In shadows deep where secrets lie,
A nefarious plot begins to brew.
With whispers soft, beneath the sky,
A wicked scheme, both dark and new.
Through twisting lanes and moonlit glades,
He weaves his web with cunning art.
A master of deceitful masquerades,
To break the trusting, innocent heart.
His smile, a mask, so smooth and grand,
Concealing malice, cold and keen.
A serpent's guile, throughout the land,
A villain's triumph, yet unseen.
But fate, it watches, ever near,
And justice sleeps not in the night.
Though darkness reigns, and brings forth fear,
The dawn shall break, with cleansing light.
For truth will pierce the deepest gloom,
And bring to naught his evil reign.
The nefarious plot will meet its doom,
And virtue rise, from toil and pain.
