Graveyard At Night
Into the graveyard I walk all alone
Save the spirits that follow me at times
The gravestones show dates that are very old
Seems the church saw me and begins its chimes
All at once the ground does begin to shake
And up the ghosts and spirits come to fright
They scare me nearly to death, fly at me
My fellow spirits join them with their might
I run and hide behind an old dead tree
But the owl gives up my true whereabouts
And they all plow right through my lost being
Fear brings out my soul and I start to shout
I’m torn from my body, flowing around
They now force me into the ground alright
Into the depths of hell to burn always
Because I entered the graveyard at night
