Deadern Hades

DEADERN HADES

What in the world am I doing in this place
If the creatures see me I know they'll give chase

The full moon glistens through the trees
I have to leave this place, don't you see

I see them feverously searching for my trail
Horrible looking creatures with great long tails

I'll reach for a limb in this tree and hang on
If I hang on this limb long enough maybe they'll be gone

They creep, they crawl, they slither through the woods
I had to stay out of sight , they best that I could

I feel the limb breaking, Lord I know I'm not worth a dime
I see their mouths gaping, I guess it's feeding time.
