Vague are the shadows
That plague my mind
Murder and mayhem
Etch an enormous frown
Upon my daily gray
What terrible whispers abound
About my reluctant frightened ears
I feel the sounds of doom
And death doth to me daily appear
Phantoms of sullen mien
Do import uncertain lessons
And bathe me in coldest hottest fear
Where all is cursed sin
While angry Gods do half appear
What are these eyes that bring me near
What the hidden hands of the fated night
What the footsteps of daggered fiend
That will his secret finally impart
Swiping me utterly helplessly down
Into his Hadean kingdom of the dark
