The House On Black Creek Road
The House On Black Creek Road
Is someone living in that vacant house
At the end of Black Creek Road
You know the one I'm talking about.
The old Crowley farm
that was For Sale but never sold
I was driving by there on my way home tonight
And swear I saw a light
And the silhouette of someone
Walking around inside
I'm sure it wasn't my headlights reflection
Shining off the windows.
I stopped and got out to take a look
but the curtains had all been closed
No one answered when
I knocked on the door
I could hear footsteps and voices inside
So I yelled "hey is there anyone home"
No one not even the Devil replied
There must be someone living there
That vacant house on Black Creek Road
If there is they have no idea
Of what happened there years ago
Evil is the only thing that lives in there
That vacant house on Black Creek Road
They should have destroyed that place
Burned it down
Along with the memories that it holds
Someone should investigate
we have a right to know
Maybe the monster that lived there
has returned back home
He never was convicted for those heinous crimes
All those children that disappeared
That they were never able to find
Wonder what became of him
Is he in a hospital for the Criminally Insane
What do they do with Psychopaths
Just lock 'em up and throw the key away
I think someone is living there
that vacant house on Black Creek Road
That place scares the hell out of me.
It's as though it's trying to steal my soul
It feels like something's watching me
when I drive down that road
Maybe it's the ghosts of his victims
maybe it's him alone
Sometimes you can hear screams in the wind
rushing through the trees
Echoing down the hollow
Spreading like a disease
Is someone living in that vacant house
The one on Black Creek Road
Don't let the children go near that place
Don't let them walk to school that way
What do you mean
the children still haven't come home
And you haven't seen them all day?
