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?
