The ghoul lurkes
in the darkness of the night
fear overcomes me
holding my soul tight
Sitting still
extremely tense
a dark fog encompasses me
the air is dense
Calling out
for mercy and grace
heart is racing
evil is in the race
Horrible feelings
anger and rage
of things in the past
now in the present age
Thinking it’s over
turning over in a grave
hell is below me
about to enslave
A small light
enters through a crack
growing larger
and begins to attack
Lifting my soul
setting me free
rage and anger gone
love answers the plea
It is now well
within my soul
evil has been defeated
as in the days of old
