The hooked blade of a knife with its blade of steel,
Bespeaks of danger so deadly and real.
With the blade exposed and the handle gripped tight,
It is ready for use and will kiss blood this night.
In darkness and shadows it will end someones life,
The hooked blade of an assassin, the cold steel of the knife.
