Sin

Spectre

Shadows dance around the walls
Down the corridor through the halls
Looking for a sleepless soul
To prey upon their helpless call

Covers pulled up nice and tight
Won't help the dammed through the night
With wide eyes darting all around
Ears pricked to the sounds

Lights flicker as they pass by
Shadows zoom right up high
Cackle laugher and bumps on the door
Hide under the bed cry no more

The night will pass and of they go
Just hope your here come tomorrow
For they will come back again
Riding high on hells fast train

Life and Death

From the beginning of time,
Life and death have
had a strange relationship.
Love, but that love was one sided.
Life would send Death presents,
but Death received them but
never sent them back.
So it is today, Life
sends Death presents
all the time, but Death never
returns the favor

American Soldier

A hero is shipped off
to a distant land.
To fight and protect the innocent
is their only plan.
Bullets fly through the
wind, like an angry bee.
Orders are shouted,
their guiding force.
Some make it home, others
die a hero.

Haunted House

Haunted House

An old abandoned house stands in a deserted part of town. It was the sight of violent murders long ago. A family used to live there back in the early 1900's. They had a son that was psychotic. His parents locked him in the attic, and the only attention he received was when food was brought up to him. One night he found a way to escape from his room and quietly went down stairs. The mentally unstable child grabbed a butcher knife from the utensil drawer. He proceed to **** his parents in their sleep. A neighbor heard the screams and went over to see if everything was all right. She found the mother and father both mutilated beyond all recognition. The son had smeared on the wall, "You forgot to lock the door" in blood. He was never heard from again. On a dark, cloudy night, if you happen to walk by you can still hear their screams.

The 300

In the year 480 B.C., King Leonidas of Sparta lead 300 Spartan soldiers to the mountain pass of Thermopylae. They came face to face with over 200,000 Persians under King Xerxes of the great Persian Empire,
whose archers so multiple, their arrows blocked out the sun.
Bravely the Spartans fought, with no thought of surrender.
After three days of brutal fighting, tens of thousands of Persians lay dead,
yet the Spartans still remain. Then a local resident becomes a traitor, revealing to the Persians a mountain path that lead behind Greek lines. Surrounded, Leonidas sends Greek soldiers back to Sparta to tell of a great victory, that he knew would never be. Valiantly the Spartans stand by their king, and fight to the death. So today, even though the Greeks lost the battle, it is better known for the bravery of a Spartan king and his 300 soldiers.
