Whispers in the night, Filling your mind with trepidation and fright   Taunting you   Feeding you lies with its twisted sighs All these monsters you hide on the inside of your mind   Are waiting   In the dark corners of your phsyche To come and get you in your sleep   A twisted face With twisted words Pecking at your sanity Like Hitchcock and one of his birds   The worst? Its that you can't escape, Before you were even spawned You had sealed your fate   What did you do? I wonder Who's life did you plunder?   Who's daughter Did you slander To deserve this curse? I can't think of a torture That could possibly be worse

Edward Mordrake
Whispers in the night, Filling your mind with trepidation and fright   Taunting you   Feeding you lies with its twisted sighs All these monsters you hide on the inside of your mind   Are waiting   In the dark corners of your phsyche To come and get you in your sleep   A twisted face With twisted words Pecking at your sanity Like Hitchcock and one of his birds   The worst? Its that you can't escape, Before you were even spawned You had sealed your fate   What did you do? I wonder Who's life did you plunder?   Who's daughter Did you slander To deserve this curse? I can't think of a torture That could possibly be worse
