Horror Story

The moon hangs low like a broken bulb
Shadows crawl where the brave dissolve
A creak a groan the floorboards moan
This house ain't dead but it's all alone
Horror story in the night
Fingers reaching for the light
Run if you can but it won't let go
Horror story
It wants your soul
Windows weep with a ghostly stare
A laugh escapes but no one's there
The clock strikes twelve the air turns cold
A whispered name you're too afraid to hold
Footsteps echo they don't belong
The silence hums a twisted song
Horror story in the night
Fingers reaching for the light
Run if you can but it won't let go
Horror story
It wants your soul
The walls are breathing the ceiling sways
Time bends backward a haunted haze
A scream gets swallowed by the dark
The end begins with a single spark
