In the shadows where moonlight fades,
Lies a secret the night reveals,
Whispers of crimes, untold and deep,
Where justice falters, and darkness steals.

Footsteps echo on cobblestone streets,
Cloaked figures in the dead of night,
Eyes that see but dare not speak,
In the city’s silent, eerie light.

Hearts that tremble, souls that weep,
Beneath the weight of deeds unknown,
A dance of shadows, a web so steep,
In a world where trust has flown.

Yet hope remains, a flickering flame,
In the heart of darkness, a silent cry,
For justice to rise, and truth reclaim,
The light that crime would deny.
