In devil-haunted cheliax
On forgotten streets of westcrown
From shadow to shadow
She moves without a sound

There's another contract out
Another man must die
No time for politics
Or ever asking "why? "

The legend of the darkness
The shimmer in candlelight
The blade that strikes the heart of
Fear into the night

She's watching out forever
For a moment to strike you down
She'll spill that royal blood
Increasing her renown

On the cobblestones
Of forgotten alleyways
The city seems to mourn
For the past, and better days

But the velvet dark
It suits her purpose fine
Gives her confidence
And clouds enemies' minds

The legend of the darkness
The shimmer in candlelight
The blade that strikes the heart of
Fear into the night

She's watching out forever
For a moment to strike you down
She'll spill that royal blood
Increasing her renown

Believer, deceiver, she tries to cover up her tracks
Whispering, deterring, her opponents' minds are weak
Believer, deceiver, she tries to cover up her tracks
Whispering, deterring, her opponents' minds are weak

Now, tonight
I kept my word
Will you do the same?

I swear
Contracts fulfilled
On the edge of my blade

Shadow to shadow
Blood to blood
Shadow to shadow
Avoid the coming flood

The legend of the darkness
The shimmer in candlelight
The blade that strikes the heart of
Fear into the night

She's watching out forever
For a moment to strike you down
She'll spill that royal blood
Increasing her renown
