Your thoughts I have at my command!
Yet, you do not know where I stand…
I can track you through the air.
I can follow you anywhere!
Soldier, spy, pilot and cop…
my work for good does not stop.
Crooks I pursue, to bring justice to them…
then I vanish and I do it again!
I have eagle eyes and I see into your heart!
But I am not noticed for my arcane art…
Ciphers and crimes to me involve
being a twilight witness in all I solve.
I am a friend to those in need,
knowing fruit of the bitterest breed!
Trouble is afoot, when my ring glows…
and evil is vanquished…
The Shadow knows!
