Spiders in the Dark

Hush, dear child, come sleep, it is late
Evening falls and the spiders wake
Hush, be still, they'll hear if you cry
The spiders in the dark

Once a Hoodian fell from the sky
Built a home for his wife and child
Curse his name and what he became
A spider in the dark

Fire roars, the trees come alive
With spiders scuttering through the night
Screams and grunts, the hunt has begun
For spiders in the dark

Swarms of bodies, thousands of limbs
They'll drain your bones, they will wear your skin
Poor meek lamb, try hide if you can
From spiders in the dark

None can end the reign of a man
Whose heart is steel and whose soul is damned
Kill but one and five more will come
They'll find you in the dark

Candles burn, the screams fade away
All his cravings were met today
Still he's cold, too vile and too old
A spider in the dark
