Under the cover of night
Are the shadows of bad men
That n'er see the light of day
Their intentions grim
Full of malevolent sin
Treachery afoot in the murk
Betraying all that is humanity
They know no wrong
Their destiny is for life
Their fate, lethal injection
What a tragedy that has fallen
For preditor and prey
Men with a reason for living
But without aa reason to live
Such tribulation eternal
Such finality of selves
