Creeping close to the water’s edge
crouched and hidden behind untrimmed hedge
closet door is slung open wide
shadows move within darkness implied
Closed your eyes and drift off to sleep
Dark hands claw for leaping sheep
Turned head but don’t dare look behind
Shadows moving: an active mind
Fears and dreams come true
When thoughts come alive and consume
Don’t lay that head back down
More dead than alive unheard is the sound
Won’t just make it go away
What stands before now becomes its prey
Eyes turn black from blue
When fears and dreams come true
Dark alleys keep hidden corners well
Cloaked daggers take their victims to hell
Rain and wind blow while umbrellas keep
Enter the ripper; ready to reap
Paces now quicken heel and heart
frightened minds race unwind apart
the wolves are howling, stepping soft
tear you to pieces; heads aloft
Fears and dreams come true
When thoughts come alive and consume
Don’t lay that head back down
More dead than alive unheard is the sound
Won’t just make it go away
What stands before now becomes its prey
Eyes turn black from blue
When fears and dreams come true
