Silver bullets, Wooden stakes
Throught the heart, Through the brain
Reverse it once again
Now the truth comes out so plain
But no, we no longer fear
Vampires and Werewolfs and other things
That use to fright the children with plights
And horrors and other miscreant frights
But now no more no more
Now vampires are weak, pathetic creatures
They have weakness
Werewolves are laughable for trying to be scary
Goblins, boogey-men
Gheists and demons
All of them pushed aside
Stamped out
Here is to the new terror of the ages
This one won't die
This one won't be pushed aside
This one is here to stay
Say hello to your new fate
It's name an epic terror drawn
That is feared to hear around
Listen closely
You will hear
Whispers of this nameless fear
And these whispers
They will say,
"The demon, the demon
Quickly, let us run away!"
You turn around but no one is there
You ask,
"What is this terror?"
Astonished they look at you in awe
And you realize
You are what they saw
This horror of horrors
This unspeakable fear
Is not you, you realize
It is everyone everywhere
With no care in their lives
Killing each other
Rape, molest, hate
Terror-spreading and angry
They hurt all they meet
And so, next time you see a little baby cry
Think over my saying and look at your life inside
For babies are pure and can see into your eyes
So when they see you, they weep for your soul
