Shadows of the Valley
...Through the chilled night air, I wander.
Melancholy thoughts, I still ponder.
Tinged with foreboding feelings, I fear.
A nightmare while awake, a fog is near.
Devilment surrounds me, in a craze...

What you did, is now OK.

Overhead, the pale moon was veiled, by dark clouds of grey.

And down the corridors
