In the dim alleys where silence reigns,
Echoes of footsteps tell untold tales,
A shadow lurks, a secret keeps,
In the heart of darkness, a mystery creeps.

Moonlight dances on cobblestone veins,
Where whispers clash with the sound of chains,
The city breathes its hidden sins,
In the cold embrace where the night begins.

Glances stolen under streetlight glow,
Where truth is masked, and lies bestow,
An unspoken pact in a fleeting glance,
In the realm of crime, where shadows dance.

Yet in this world of shadows and plight,
Hope flickers softly, a beacon of light,
For justice waits with vigilant eyes,
To unveil the truth beneath the skies.
