Evil has torn the streets
Thus leaving it bare
Silence lurking as it peeps
Another house up there
Humanity chanting as we call
Heavens hear our pray'r
Keep our household away from harm
In this forbidding lair
Staggering footsteps roused the hounds
Manned gates so vigilantly
See no lights, hear no sound
Watchful souls waiting to flee
Whirlybird flies back and forth
Awaiting for first light
Hope infixed in our hearts
That we may survive the night
