So You're afraid of the things that go bump in the night

but more afraid of those of us who fight the monsters

that plague your fears

your life is more peaceful.....because of us.

but we have changed an the change scares you 

Those who have fought monsters inevitably change because

of all that we have seen an done

but before you judge one of us remember this

we have witnessed things that mortals aren't meant to see

we moved forward towards the things that make you want to runaway 

we stepped up to fight what you fear

to stand between you and the monsters that want to kill you

what innocence we had is long gone 

along with pieces of our humanity with it

to survive we adapted overcame an improvised to take on the same

characteristics as the monsters we have fought  

we are now capable extreme violence and that terrifies you

the boy next door has become a killer  

those of you who cannot understand meeting violence with equal 

or more extreme violence will never understand us or the price we have paid

or are paying 

the nightmares , the waking to cold sweats , the panic attacks

alienating the ones we love 

constantly expecting the worse from everyone an everything 

We all know we'er fucked up in one fashion or the other 

whether it's physically ,mentally or both 

that's what makes us part of the brotherhood !
