In Shadows They Hide

In shadows they hide, to hunt on the weak, time after time;
a mixture of fury, evil, and fear combined.

You may have seen them, from the corner of your eye.
You may have heard them, a sound that's not just quite right.

Heed warning when you're walking in darkness at night; 
in shadows they're stalking souls to steal with no fight.

Their choice of weapon is fear and there's no escape!
For once transfix by their stare, you cannot evade.

If you see something from the corner of your eye; 
or if you hear clatter that doesn't sound quite right.

Take my advice, it may save your life and your soul:
You must run fast, don't look back, and stay in control!

And now scream these three words, three times, clear and out loud:
Damnation is Coming! Damnation is Coming! Damnation is Coming!

You may save a soul, but sadly not yours, yours will be gone!
