We are the Grangers

Scary family

 Mama is the quiet one, sneaking in when nights begun

  Papa is the brutal one, with knifes of steel, run, run, run

   Lily is the tidy one, cleaning up when the work is done

Samuel is the convincing one, shedding tears when the policemen come

All together, deadly as sin

Murders a family game

And they always win

Elegantly crafted and entrancing, yet still sustaining the hard edge of darkness. Beautifully done.
However, you might mean "sneaking in when the night's begun"
instead of
"sneaking in when nights begun"
Good work.
