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!
