The Terror

by Ragecrisis - Leo

The terror of the night, it wanders
walking through the night to ponder
should he strike and kill today?
shold he simply walk away?
everyone has wronged against him 
everyone must pay for their sin
so strikes the terror of the night
and kills with his deadly bite

Wicked people all are slain
while this creature's terror reigns
one, then two, then four, then twenty
all for him a feast of plenty
he relishes each, every bite
for him a sweet, tasty delight
everybodys hopes are dashed
he gets them all, each unabashed

then back to his lair he slinks
with the stealth of hunter minks
all happy, people walk out the door
because they are asleep no more
and now he sleeps for one more night
relinquishing his lethal bite
for he knows in his due time
he'll be released from people's minds.
