Wanted to write something from the point of a villain, some rando mobster being hunted down by Frank Castle.
Verse:
Running through the shadows, in the dead of night,
Got the devil on my heels, no end in sight,
Deals in the alleys, power in my hand,
King of the streets, ruler of the land.
Blood on my knuckles, cash in my fist,
Thought I’d own the world, never be missed,
But there’s a hunter, lurking in the dark,
Silent as death, leaves no mark.
I’ve seen his eyes, cold and devoid,
Punisher they call him, void of joy,
My empire crumbles, fear takes hold,
Whispers in the night, tales retold.
Every step I take, he’s right behind,
A shadow of vengeance, consuming my mind,
Tried to run, tried to hide,
But his wrath is a tide, I can’t abide.
Echoes of gunfire, scream through the air,
Every corner turned, he’s right there,
In this city of sin, I’m losing my grip,
Power slips away, like blood from a slit.
My men fall one by one, in the silent night,
No place left to run, no chance to fight,
Every ally’s turned, every friend’s a foe,
In this game of death, it’s a lonely show.
Heart pounding hard, in my chest,
Feels like a final beat, I can’t rest,
Visions of his skull, white and grim,
Every breath I take, feels so thin.
Streets that once were mine, now a maze,
In his deadly hunt, I’m just a phase,
No mercy shown, no pity found,
In the Punisher’s grip, I’m tightly bound.
Days turn to nights, no end in sight,
With every step I take, I feel his might,
Power I once held, now slips away,
In this deadly game, I’m his prey.
Tried to bargain, tried to plea,
But in his eyes, I see no glee,
Just a burning rage, a need for blood,
In his wake, a crimson flood.
Cornered in an alley, no way out,
Hear his footsteps, no room for doubt,
This is the end, my final stand,
Facing the Punisher, gun in hand.
No words are spoken, no pleas to be made,
In his eyes, my fate is laid,
Pulled the trigger, felt the lead,
In a pool of blood, my life I bled.
Outro: (The Punisher)
“In the end, justice finds a way,
No sinner escapes, no debt left to pay,
In this city of darkness, light will break,
For the innocent lost, vengeance I take.”
