Creak go the floorboards,
giving their warning,
Go no further,
don't take another step.

Flicker goes the light,
telling you something,
Is coming for you,
won't you listen to it?

Hush is the silence,
that surrounds you now,
Only your breathing,
heavy and fast.

Fleeting is the shadow,
that's by your side
Deep breath in,
it'll be your last.
