From the necropolis up the hill The beast will come Looking at the children through the window To scare them to death - with its dreadful face Dread stalkest at night The beast hidest in the dark Can the children sleep tonight? Are their curtains drawn? Is the beast spying on their room out the street? Or is it just their subconscious? Is a knife under their pillow enough to ease them? Will their heart sustain this dread every other night?
