Sensual but so lethal,
Readying to kill.

In the hot desert sands,
Glancing toward you.

Rearing, readying to strike,
Inches from your face.

Ring out in the haunted night,
Evil being done.

A crumbly old house.

Is drawing ever nearer,
Crying fills the night.

Stalking you unseen.

Touching all who pass nearby
A dark cul-de-sac.

Evil stalks the alleys, to
Search for lonely souls.

Down to the chilled minions,
Of this frozen land.

Danger rushing like the wind,
Racing toward you.

Producing strange sounds like,
Mewling from the waters.

Darkness descending
Endless blackness overhead,
Night as still as death.

Evil creatures haunt
A neighbourhood in hell,
No one dares go outside.

The death bell ringing
Calling demons from the sea,
To visit the land.

The death bell ringing
Peeling like the voice of doom,
Terror numbs your mind.

Spreading death and fear
They move slowly through the night,
Bringing doom to all.

Horror floods through your system
You’re drowning in your fear,
As death comes calling

An angel of death
In black raiments; wielding a
Razor-sharp sickle.

Whispery death breeze
Howling out like banshee cries,
Death is on the way.

Late one evil night, that bring
Tragedy to all.

The icy grip of death
Grasping a new victim,
Killing him slowly.

The whispers of death,
Echoing in your mind.

Hunting lonely back-packers,
An alien terror.

Peering through death’s door and,
The doors of Hell beyond.

As your dark side awakens,
Soon you'll have to kill.

Ignorant superstition?
Or awful truth?

Are forced to feel the lash,
Of a horrid death.

Shooting along your spine,
Like fingers of death.

Of giant mollusc tracks,
You follow unsurely.

Striking at humanity,
Jealous of our life.

Unstoppable, shadows move,
In your direction.

Oozing 'neath the floorboards
Waiting to seep up.

Low whistling from
Impenetrable shadows,
Slithers after you.
