Children Of The Night

This is a collaboration with Sean M. Addams and Fran Marie.

The bruised night air is a symbol of hurt

A sadness awakens far beneath the unsettled dirt

Through the devil’s hand cries of sorrow we couldn’t save

The phantom moon calls out to the children of the grave

Children’s voices and footsteps come alive then slowly disappear

Parents look through empty rooms realizing their dark wounded fears

 

Back to avenge their parents’ dirty deeds

And open wounds of sorrow as their soul bleeds

Apparitions taunting in hallways; haunting with each room

A curse of death from yon spirits, filled with hate and gloom

A ghostly presence so severe its force will not leave them alone

There to for revenge with a will of their own

 

They returned the hurt to their parents a hundred fold

Absorbing their life essence leaving them prematurely old

As shriveled husks they look out of terrified eyes

It’s their dead children who did this they are shocked to realize

Old and feeble now in their perpetual dying shells

An eternity to be trapped in their new found physical hell

Unfortunately I can almost understand why there would
be such "children of the night" in this day and age.
This is chilling. A nice collab.!

Well done,

A very haunting and tragic story of children coming back from the dead to get revenge on their hateful parents. Outstanding collaboration!
