Claimed


I sense an evil presence
I sense that he is near
An icy touch upon my shoulder
Has me frozen with fear

I stand, unmoving and silent
I stand, straining my ears
A hiss of a whisper beside me
Now he's all I can hear

I see movement in the darkness
I see a shape forming there
His figure looming closer
Fills me with trembling despair

I know that he has found me
I know my time has come
He draws me up against him
Caresses my lips with a clawed thumb

I feel my soul departing
I feel my life begin to end
The Devil is here to claim me
Never did try and make my amends
