Alone in the dark
It awaits
For the people with a mark
Are its bait
The cold wind sours
The smell of blood in the air
Its been few hours
Since am struck over here
Near the sacred lake
My champ fires out
I begin to shake
As something came flying about
     A HUMAN HEAD!
     A BLEEDING HEAD!
What was out there?
How many dead?
This night is unfair
Crying slowly with a shout
It's too much to bear
I want to run out
But I could be the next prey
Groomed in blood, skinned off flesh
Kneeling down to pray
As I hear the branches clash
It's on its ways
O' sacred lake
Leash off this dark mystical sways
Hide me in your arms for heaven sake
The fear hovers nearby
For my death must be near
Silently I nest up and lay
My eyes shut, dripping in tear...
