Shadows looming dangerously above you
Of grotesque figures spelling silent doom.
Moonlight beams casting gory shadows,
Or so it seems from your open windows.

Silhouettes mooching back and forth
Like giant ghosts all seemingly lost.
Eerie silence permeating the still air,
And night time is almost a morbid affair.
