。As I lay in bed, in the dead of night 

I tossed and I turned, gripped with fright

For outside I heard, a most dreadful fight

Cries and screams pierced through the night

 rose from my bed, my heart filled with dread

And crept to the window to see what was said

There below on the street, a gruesome sight I met

Bodies strewn on the ground, blood-soaked and wet

I gasped and recoiled, my nerves were beguiled

 What evil was here that left good men defiled?

I knew I must flee, escape the vile glee

That lurked in the dark for victims like me

So into the night, I took hasty flight

The images etched in my mind causing blight

I dared not look back, kept to the black

For the evil that slew them was surely on my track

The creatures that did this, whatever they were

I hoped I'd escape them, I said a quick prayer

All I could do was run, under the moon

And pray they did not catch me, that I'd escape doom 。
