There you

Stand in a mask nearly broken

With a rusty nail

 

Would you

Wake what must never be woken?

I'll make sure you fail!

 

Shadow, you can chase me

But you can't escape me

Draw your blade and face me!

With my needle I will pierce your veil!

 

Here we

Stand at the edge of a

Kingdom that's been

Lost in time, drowned in slime

 

Now we

Turn to each other and

Join in battle --

Parry, thrust! parry, thrust!

 

I will send you

Back to dust! as I must!

 

Brave defender!

Foul pretender!

I will end your tale!

 

I've fought

Others whose faces were vacant

With a hollow core

 

And yet

Something about you is different

From the ones before

 

Shadow, what's your quest?

Unless you pass my test

I'll see you laid to rest!

I will not let you open up that door!

 

Here we

Stand at the edge of a

Kingdom where old

Secrets lie, left to die

 

Now as

Needle meets nail in a

Deadly dance of

Nerve and skill! Such a thrill!

 

Take your chance and

Make the kill! Or I will!

 

Battle's sweet!

I stand defeated...

We will meet once more!
