Hello, my name is Whisper.
I’m new here, can you tell?
I crept up from the graveyard
And in your nightmares dwell.
I’ve come tonight to warn you,
A fate you’ll soon befall.
And while I might seem friendly,
I’m really not at all.
I visit while you’re sleeping
And sneak into your dreams.
I fill your head with terror,
I feed upon your screams.
I have a claim upon you
And I don’t like to share.
Your frights and fears sustain me,
You’re mine alone to scare.
There’s something else that stalks you,
Out there on this dark night.
While my feasting leaves no mark
You’ll surely feel his bite.
It’s true, I’m really horrid,
The one who comes is worse.
Once he finds your scent, you see,
He follows like a curse.
After he picks his victim
There's nothing to be done.
This dark night will be your last
And soon your death will come.
Even now, he waits for you,
He watches from the street.
There’s a smile on his face,
He has too many teeth.
Looking closer, you will see
There’s something very wrong.
His body is too slender,
His fingers sharp and long.
This monster is quite patient
He knows time’s on his side.
To lock your doors is useless,
He’ll find a way inside.
In no rush, he’ll just observe.
He’ll wait ‘til you’re asleep.
When he hears your quiet snores
Into your house he’ll creep.
He glides with soundless footsteps
and quickly finds your room.
Unbeknownst to you that night,
Your bed becomes your tomb.
Shadow cast across your form,
He leans in really close.
As he smells your sweetly scent,
His hunger only grows.
Normally his poor victims
Are bilssf'lly unaware.
They simply wake to find him
His teeth and talons bared.
I thought that I could warn you,
That maybe then you’ll see.
He’ll feast on you ‘til morning,
With nothing left for me.
I'm only made of darkness,
There's nothing I can do.
And if I were to fight him
Then I'd be eaten, too.
Every night, I’m here with you,
Each time you close your eyes
I hope that you can trust me
A nightmare never lies.
By now you must understand
That you’re as good as dead.
Only thing to do ‘til then
Is make sure I’m well fed.
