Creature In the River
A couple decided to walk
down to the park near the river
At that time, you could barely see
the crimson moon, just a sliver
Moon was always that color
on Halloween night.
Lexy was holding on
to James hand very tight.
They were so romantically in love
Lexy thought he was sent from above.
They'd been dating for quite some time,
everything seemed so sublime.
The moon had finally came out
from behind the clouds
While they were standing by the river
they had heard something crack loud.
Lexy grabbed James and screamed,
"Let's get out of here."
She had a fearful look on her face
and turned to tears.
It was too late, a strange creature came out
the water with fiery eyes.
They were grabbed from behind,
She screamed, continues to cry.
After she had screamed,
her mouth was covered.
Creature said, "You two lovers,
are mine tonight."
I need two virgins for the witch
had been watchingfor you all year
Their faces were white, full of fear.
The creature had blood
flowing from his eyes
As he completely came out of the water,
He was all covered with flies.
Lexy and James hands were finally tied.
The two who had grabbed them
walked in front of them at last
They were zombies, dry blood Tongues were like a serpents, fast
they didn't dare move for they were poisonous with venom.
A boat came by, the monster gave the kids to the witch
when she spoke, she was loud and had a high pitch.
When Lexy and James were placed
in the boat,
The witch cast a spell, then put on a black coat.
When she cast another spell, large snakes came out, then wrapped
around their bodies, hissing,
they were trapped.
Boat finally stopped, snakes had disappeared, zombies had came
and picked them up out of the boat,
laid on a huge rock, positioned same.
Their hands and feet were spread
tied to the trees, next to where they laid,
spells were cast, evil prayers were chanted, when ordered, zombies obeyed.
A goblet came over with a dagger
piercing them through the heart
they died instantly, which was planned from the start.
Poured the blood, from the heart into the glass bowl, too
Each zombie and goblet sipped blood from the bowl, they knew
they had to chant, then the leaders of the group and the witch bit through
it and bit a piece from the heart.
Passed it around to each zombie
so they could do the same
gave them energy and now
they were no longer tame.
Ate all the flesh off the bodies, made a sacrifice, spirits came out and flew away,
turned midnight and disappeared, they all went to their homes to stay.
