Moonlit Deceit

[Verse 1]
In moonlit nights, I wander free
Nine tails aloft, a sight to see
I dance with shadows, weave a spell
A trickster's heart, a tale to tell

[Chorus]
Foxfire burning, hearts aflame 
In the shadows, I'll whisper your name
I’ve chosen you to bring me delight
After all your fate is sealed tonight

[Verse 2]
With cunning & guile, I roam the land
I steal from the unwitting folks whom I find
A shape-shifter, with a winning hand
I take advantage of those that pay me no mind

[Bridge]
Best not to gamble with a fox so wise
I’ve won before we started so it’s no surprize

[Verse 3] 
Village elders warned you to stay away
But I beseech you to come out and play
I hold you entranced as you look into my eyes 
Your soul to keep, your heart's my prize

[Outro]
With every trick, a secret's shared 
And in my eyes, your soul's ensnared
