Stranger In The Night

Knock, knock, knock,
tap, tap, tap,
bang, bang, bang.
There was a knock upon the door,
in the cold darkness of the night,
startled, then it happened once more,
knock, knock, knock, creating a fright.
Knock, knock, knock,
tap, tap, tap,
bang, bang, bang.
Awakening from a deep slumbering sleep,
stumbling about in the mist of the knock,
down the stairs which seemed so steep,
fumbling to open the old security lock.
Knock, knock, knock,
tap, tap, tap,
bang, bang, bang.
The door creaked with an eerie sound,
gazing at the dark image in front of me,
I began to sweat, my heart began to pound,
frozen dead in my tracts I could not flee.
Knock, knock, knock,
tap, tap, tap,
bang, bang, bang.
Covered in a cloak, a hood upon it’s head,
in the dark it’s piercing eyes seemed to glow,
the chill of this spirit from beyond the dead,
in the air a misty spooky fog seemed to flow.
Knock, knock, knock,
tap, tap, tap,
bang, bang, bang.
Standing with peering eyes yet as still as a stone,
it’s boney finger pointed directly toward my chest,
then feeling it’s touch, in the rush, I felt so all alone,
knowing in the dark of the night there would be no rest.
Knock, knock, knock,
tap, tap, tap,
bang, bang, bang.
