Saviors in the shadows

With a secret existence, they traveled at night.

To follow 1 path that they considered was right.

This group was tenacious so they gave it their all;

When evil descended they'd answer the call.

A band of assassins. A bond made of steel.

& Should corruption arise, the crooked shall kneel.

Though their pain may be great, & their numbers are few,

They will hear & emerge should new Chaos ensue.

An understanding they shared- an unspoken creed.

This group shall arise wherever the need.

So long as they breathe, they will NEVER ignore-

Cries of the innocent because they've heard them before.

Fighting for Justice. Fighting for Peace.

Fighting the last fight to make Evil cease!

With 1 final foe we see a Hero emerge!

Within his pure heart we feel his energy surge.

On his shoulders he carries all the hopes & the dreams,

Of the ones he held dear- the weight of a teams.

He fought & he fought as a Hero should do, 

& never gave up on his friends' point of view!

The leaders were wicked. Their people were dying...

Those evil, twisted laughs made the Hero start crying!

He mourned all the losses. All the women & men-

He vowed to protect them & start all over again!

Their group wasn't perfect, but they did what was right.

& Though the burden was heavy, they continued to fight!

He fought for the people, he did what was just:

Ending Oppression, Bloodshed, & Lust!

His comrades were killed & he took the blame...

He fought 'cuz he knew that life is no game.

You're given a chance. ONE shot & you're through! 

& Empowered by the friends he had, dived headfirst into-

His untimely death. So tragic an end...

With the people in mind, that he died to defend.

1 by 1 they passed away & History will forget

How it was they saved the world, dragged it from the pit.

Their deaths were unknown; they were never recorded.

& Their lives + their names will be forever distorted.

Society had 'killed' them before they were born.

But protecting the people was what they had Sworn.

Their mission. Their goal. Started 1st as a dream

& it succeeded & flourished through the work of a team.

Each one was unique- each member he knew.

Their bond, ever strengthened, by all they'd been through.

& Though the tidings were grim, they never said "No";

They would bring Justice no matter the foe!
