The Creeper

The creeper comes hunting
A shadow you saw?
He devours all souls
And searches for more

He is swift and is clever
He strikes in the dark
Leaving you hollow
Leaving his mark

He won’t stop til he has you
Your soul is his
You can’t run or hide
I promise he won’t miss

When your heart feels heavy
And your soul is gone
The creeper has got you
The creeper has won
