She crept along the walls.
Snuck in without a sound.
She told herself,
"No sweat. No regret. I am bound."
She crawled out through a window.
Shut it behind her.
She told herself,
"This is it."
She's out and ready to prowl
The night.
She's ready to take on any fight.
She ran across courtyard.
Hidden and deceptive.
Shadows of the night
Fell upon her shoulders.
Benefiting her as she goes.
She depends on the cover of the moon.
The clouds keep rolling in.
She'll be there soon.
She's out without a sound.
She says to herself,
"I've got it. Now I'm homebound."
She's free.
Free without danger.
She is their last and only, surviving avenger.
