Shadows creeping
Drawing nearer
Walls seeping
We all fear her
Souls lost
Innocence spoiled
Windows frost
Carpets soiled
Every night
She brings us out
Edge of sight
Lingering doubt
One more chosen
Our number rises
Another life frozen
Families she despises
We must follow
Beyond the grave
Eternal sorrow
We can't be saved
