• In nightmarish dreams,
    My terrified screams,
    Are empty and soundless instead.

    Faceless strangers,
    Unaware of the dangers,
    Suddenly all drop dead.

    Running forever,
    With frightened endeavor,
    I cannot and will not stop.

    Towards cottage or shack,
    I'm not looking back,
    Or me to pieces he'll chop.

    My legs are shaky,
    My body is achy,
    I may just collapse right here.

    As it keeps snowing,
    I keep going,
    Trembling from cold and fear.

    I'm out of my mind,
    I look behind,
    At the pale and ominous mist.

    The furious ghost,
    Within hypnotized host,
    Angrily clenches his fist.

    The princely thing,
    I'd found his ring,
    He bows as I hold my breath.

    He takes my hand,
    And signals the band,
    Leading me in the dance of death.

    The wretched curse,
    It only got worse,
    I am condemned in his court.

    My end is near,
    That is clear,
    Another young life cut short.

    The song soon ends,
    And down he beds,
    He whispers, "You were warned to be wary."

    "Then you forget,
    Your fate has been set,
    The ring to your grave you'll carry."

    He draws his knife,
    He takes my life,
    I shriek and shout until...

    In the mud,
    Drenched in blood,
    I lay forever still.

    I sit up in bed,
    And hit my head,
    The shock had struck me through.

    Cold with sweat,
    And stomach upset,
    I begin to dream anew.
