The Shadow In The Dark

The hour grew later than I thought
My only soul shuddered and crumbled under bed
The sounds of the wailing greyhounds were louder
The shadow lurking in dark was making me dead
I couldn’t yell for help or utter a shriek
My only voice was sounding dumb
I dreaded thinking about this spell
The whole body was soon growing numb
I jumped off guard and ran to the door
The ground was shaking with drums in the deep
They had taken the second hall
I couldn’t get out or take a leap
Concealed and disguised they were
Servile to the power of the one
I couldn’t have contended their will
For the evil ever heard none
I was defending myself with lore
Mustering the courage to change the course
I couldn’t stop it anymore
I knew they were coming…
