Evil lurks within the darkness of night it seems.
Humans hunted down by this creature in dreams.
The creature I speak of is evil to the supreme.
They satisfy their desire, within anyone’s’ dream.
Sceadugenga, shadow being that travels in darkness.
Shaping them and evolving into known likeness.
Taking a familiar form to negotiate simple madness,
Stretching the lucid dream driving one to aimlessness,
Folding your dreaming desires into evil beyond compare,
Shaping harmless dreams, into terrible ugly despair,
Captivating the goodness and spreading pain of mind.
Surrendering to the electiveness of a fantasy they find.
Twisting and turning the hallucination into nightmare.
Transforming your soul into helpless rubble to scare,
Until the shadow of Sceadugenga appears at nightfall,
While human is awake though in trance, total thrall.
They do bidding of the shadow beast, without recall.
