Tonight the poltergeists will come And rip you out of bed, And pound your walls, and drum your door, And hammer in your head, And leave you writhing still alive, Though rather you'd be dead.
But fear not these; they merely prank; Instead the demon fear That frightens away the poltergeists Whene'er it doth appear, And screams a scream that makes to bleed A stream each mangled ear.
It comes for you, your soul to possess; And I do sadly tell, You have no chance yourself to save; So, sleep, and sleep you well— Enjoy another tender dream Before you're dragged to Hell.
