Late at night when everyone's asleep
I can always hear a distorted shriek
I look around but no one's there
I listen to the voice and it says "beware"
I stop and wonder what it means
Only to figure out that they were my own screams
It says beware the end is near
Even if you cry no one will hear
I jumped out of bed and then I ran
I didn't watch out so I bumped into a man
This man was tall, surely six foot two
Maybe I can warn him to watch out too
"Beware the end" I said to the man
I was in shock when he grabbed my hand
"I'm here to take you young lad,
I can't guarantee that you'll be glad"
I tried hard to struggle
But his grip would not unbuckle
"Why is it me that you want?
Can't you see that I'm just a runt?"
"A runt you are my dear sir,
and a runt I want to make my blood stir.
You're a pathetic spineless little wimp
And for that I shall make your bones feel limp.
I shall rip apart your flesh
And devour them still fresh
I will save your soul for last
And I shall take it fast."
I closed my eyes waiting for an attack
And with one swift move I heared my bones crack
It was a force too strong I couldn't escape it
All I can do is stay still and just take it.
I was filled with astonishment
But my heart did not lament
For this is what I've always wanted
To be taken away from this world that's tainted.
