Nightmare

Darkness, Shadows, Fright’ning screams

Red eyes haunt you in your dreams

With serpent coils and spider crawls

Clouded skies and banshee calls

Cold chills running down your spine

Something’s counting down your time

Monsters wait to draw your blood

Don’t listen for that sick’ning thud

 

With every turn you hear a howl

Eerie, freaky, creepy, growl

Apparitions all around

Voices groaning underground

 

Death and phantoms at your neck

Pirates on a grim ship wreck

Something’s coming down the hall

With fangs and claws and dying squall

 

Darkness, shadows, is this real

All this fear and dread I feel

I must wake up and see the sun

Or this nightmare won’t be done
