Play For Keeps

Scents in air 
Stiff and stale 
Eyes of devil 
Skin so pale 

Moves so swift 
Can't catch me 
Turn the corner 
Then I see 

Close my eyes 
Horror to feel 
Knowing it's there 
Evil so real 

Chills on bones 
Wind stands still 
Voice of terror 
Coming to kill 

Claws for shredding 
Hooves dug deep 
Hard to breathe 
Soul to keep
