A presence lurks, in the darkest night
A threat that looms, with an ominous light
A whispered warning, of danger yet to come
A sense of unease, that cannot be undone

Like a stormy cloud, it gathers and grows
A menacing force, that nobody knows
Its intentions hidden, its power unsealed
A threat that hangs, like a sword revealed

It stalks its prey, with a stealthy pace
A predator lurking, in a secret place
Its eyes fixed on, its target so fine
A threat that will stop, at nothing divine

But still we stand, against the coming tide
A resolve of courage, deep inside
For in the face, of the threatening dark
We find the strength, to leave our mark
