Little children come out to play I wait in the dark Upon your innocence I always prey For I am a shark Little children softly scream You'll waken the dead For I am coming to haunt your dream While you're in your bed Little children leave your beds I wait in the dark I'll rip out your eyes and cut off your heads I think it's a lark Little children cower in fear I like it like that I'll shred your voices, make nightmares appear On your blood grow fat Little children come out with me I wait in the dark Leave behind your life, go away free My truth is so stark. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Kethry This is quite fearsome... --------- have you listened to Ozzy Osbourne singing Mr. Tinkertrain... starts something like this... (if I remember well) Would you like some sweeties? Come a little closer I'm gonna show you a brand new world tonight ... Once you're there I'm gonna take you for a ride ... well here is a metallica number very famous- called Enter Sandman that sings... "Hush little baby, don't say a word And never mind that noise you heard It's just the beast under your bed, In your closet, in your head" ... --------------- Now Kethry, if you haven't heard these, hear them and be more inspired... but I will never let you close enough to any kids I know to sing them "lullabies"...  LOL regards, Sudhir |

Sudhir, Actually I've heard both those pieces of music.The inspiration for this piece was a song called "little children." I don't know who sang it but it was pretty scary. And you know what they say the hand that rocks the cradle... I'm currently writing another that a little more horrific and less thrilling. Be well O Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Hi Kethry, I also wrote my horror challenge about little children, but I have never heard those songs. I guess the Bogey Man is the scariest kind of horror to me! Good Job! |
