Raven's Night
Winds a' blowing all around-
So dark I cannot see,
A figure, hush - don’t make a sound-
That reflection can’t be me!
The moon is rising to full extent-
Heart pounding with poignant glee,
A glorious night for this grand event-
My victims come to me!
Brain is whirling, twirling fast-
Timing is such a key,
Almost there, heart please do last-
A feast awaits for me!
Through glowing amber eyes, I spy-
Perfect prey to be,
I can’t help but give a sigh-
Come, little morsels, to me!
A raven’s form I’ve taken on-
Upon the branch of a barren tree,
Watching them play on a graveyard lawn-
Soon a drinking spree for me!
All together, what a sight-
Laughing, not thinking to flee,
Tipping headstones on this late autumn night-
Never sensing the danger in me!
I can taste the blood, can hardly wait-
Poor souls, they can’t foresee,
Lightning fast, they’ll meet their fate-
Upon their necks, I’ll be!
Ah-h-h-, quenched my thirst for another year-
Til I rise from my coffin free,
On All Hallows’ Eve night you should walk in fear-
“Cause you, my next victim, might be!”
