Bathed in stale sweat awash with slippery fears
Pain relents as your end draws near
Cramp overwhelms muscle drawn tight
Renting flesh with malevolent delight
Cold unseen hands
Broad and square
Demons of possession
To sear you everywhere
A narrow slither of silver
A yellow slit of eye
The dark silhouetted intruder
Will cut you and leave you to die
Murderer of the night
Shadows proceed from him
Festering insanity to kill on a whim
Ruthless slayer demon in human guise
Arbitrary assassin intent on your demise
Clouds part their jetted veil
Beyond the moon leers full
His face washed sickly
Featureless and dull
Your heart stops in your chest
The blade finds its mark
Raised knife fallen
Levelled in lethal arc
Heavy gout of blood
Venting vital red
No more considered
Flayed and left for dead
Stalker's instinct animates his soul
Quixotic lust impelling murderous toil
Veiled in gloom the disquiet of dread
Strike an elegy for the violently dead
