Down darkened hallway,
past unlit light,
softly stalk the creatures
the creatures of the night...

Misshapen beasts on silent wing
hunt at night for just one thing:
the innocent left all alone
inside security of home.
A victim picked, they circle in
vile torture soon begins
Once again, they've staked their claim;
bounty torn from those they maim.
When all life has been erased
they disappear without a trace.
Their evil laughter heard by none
but shrieks will greet the morning sun
as deeds uncovered by the light
reveal a cruel and bloody night.
None will suspect the unknown beasts
who wait until its time to feast
once more on innocence and pain.
Then, they'll rise up, take wing again.
Silent killers in the dark
will slip past guards without a mark,
to rend their horrors most unreal
on the new crop of souls they'll steal.

Down darkened hallway,
past unlit light,
softly stalk the creatures
the creatures of the night...

Call me exceedingly strange (I am), but while reading that, I imagined Vincent Price reciting it to the beat of Thriller.

Welcome.
