The Battle

A creaking sound
Enters the ear
Sounding like
The deepest fear

Shadows in the hallway
Ever step they take
Makes the old beat down house
Feel as if in an earthquake

The shadows approach
The door of the mind
Toying and playing
A pain of the worst kind

Only one has the power to defend
Those who these demons have mangled
Once the battle begins, victorious will be
That of the angel
