A shadow in the night appears
To do a duty, to help its peers
A shadow of the night come home from the grave
Where so much fear had held it slave
The shadow has no shape, neither women nor man
Appearing conjured where its troubles began
It peers about looking through tired grey eyes
Looking at the spot where another body lies
Another shadow appears and takes the others hand
The deed is done, time to leave this land
Turning away, the first leads the second shadow gently away
Leaving the tormented body cold and splay
