Shadows On a White Wall
Walking down a street in the factory district
Suddenly - a shadow appears and blocks our light from the streetlamps
Then - the sound of steps - we are being followed
We see shadows on a freshly painted wall
We try to move quickly to a safe spot
But it's too late!
Engulfed by an alien being - we are filled with terror
In this unreal city we feel slimy arms around us
We are too terrified to even cry out - We're engulfed by a massive creature
Terrfying moments - Can we escape? Too late?
We are the next meal of a shadowy creature
Who came from another solar system andour fragile forms
Soon come to a shadowy end
