A Scream that Slays the Night

Here it comes again Reaching from below The grip of grubby hands does not let go Wake by screeching noise on rotten wooden floor Is it real this time? I never know Red eyes glaring from the closet void Red eyes render me destroyed Once again I sniff the fiery stink The beast steps forward as I blink Nightmares Ghouls and shadows from deep under Bleed me out until it thunders One last thing for me to utter As I stare into red eyes A scream that slays the night Dreaming yet aware Paralyzed and scared Quickly sinking deeper in the sand Foaming at the mouth Maggots peeling skin In the darkness of the corner a demon stands Step by step approaches in the shade Blurred and hidden from my sight Once again I breathe an air gone cold Hell will fall on me tonight Nightmares Ghouls and shadows from deep under Bleed me out until it thunders One last thing for me to utter As I stare into dead eyes A scream that slays the night Creeping up to me Growling frantically Eyes roll horror-stricken in my head Rib cage giving in Heartbeat giving out Praying in the language of the dead Suddenly the sounds of death fade out Body violently wakes up Once again it seems to have gone away But in my mind those red eyes stay Nightmares Ghouls and shadows from deep under Bleed me out until it thunders One last thing for me to utter As I stare into dead eyes A scream that slays the night
