Lay your head and close your eyes
Pay no mind to the distant creeks
The blackened serenity tells only lies
Hiding the cretins, your blood they seek
Drenched in sweat, but still you shiver
Foggy shapes on every side
Your weakened spine begins to quiver
Smelling your fear, the creatures rise
Repulsive fiends with dried out skin
Twisted faces and hook like claws
Elongated limbs and unnaturally thin
Blade like teeth fill constricted maws.
Inhumanly strong, they hold you firm
Becoming disoriented as the room contorts
Able only to scream and squirm
Your body goes numb as the shadows distort
A distant face glides like a shark in the sea
Slowly it approaches as the room gets dimmer
As it gets closer you hear it breathe
Robbing your oxygen as the air grows thinner
Darkness has completely engulfed the room
You see only the creature baring its teeth
Soon enough you'll be consumed
As the jaw extends, it prepares to eat
