In the shadows of the night where secrets hide
A ghostly figure moves with steps so wide
In Northern California a name took flight
The Zodiac Killer a tale of fright
Zodiac the hunter in the dark
Left his mark with cryptic spark
Letters and ciphers a twisted game
The world still wonders who's to blame?
Lake Herman Road the first cold bite
Young lovers' dreams shattered that night
Vallejo followed with a chilling spree
Darlene and Michael faced the spree
Taunting letters words of dread
"My name is hidden" the killer said
Ciphers cracked but no reveal
The mystery endures a fate surreal
Lake Berryessa a day turned grim
Bryan and Cecelia faced him
In Presidio Heights Paul Stine fell
The city held its breath in a fearful spell
Silent steps a ghostly trail
Investigations all to no avail
Suspects many proof so thin
The enigma lingers where to begin?
Years have passed yet the question stays
Who was the shadow in those days?
The Zodiac Killer a name so grim
A puzzle unsolved haunting within
