The Step
Location
Thump Thump even steps on the floor
A rhythmic monotone inciting horror
Who is it that makes such a beaten path
Is it death or man with a thought to pass
I can’t stand the rhythmic thump of his step
The tapping of time so well kept
Its tortuous in its entirety
It is creating sheer evil insanity
What is the madness that evenly walks
Around about the hall in a freakish stalk
Could it be fear in a menacing manner
Come to grip my heart and with it hammer
Can I stop that warriors drum
From splitting my ears and hair with that continuous thump
When will it stop oh guardian please
Guardian of my endless happiness dreams
Make the fearful death relinquish its timing
Make human that monstrous dark chiming
Don’t let it get me and make me weep
I wish it away and my peace to keep
Please please I must be overtaken
My willingness to withstand has been shaken
Oh devil evil step release me
Release me from your torrent of torment
Show your face and quit your pacing
Or else I may leave you by use of this lacing
Take my soul my heart so pure
Stop this horror I beg of you sir
This is a torture I can not withstand
Your step I feel in my chest and my hand
I fear it too late for pleasant death
So I will stop it and release myself to peaceful earthly depths
Oh guardian you have failed
Death and fear has pumped my blood til no longer do I wail.
