Suppose there is a calm without suspicion
I bring serene conviction with a smile,
Temptation can indeed produce transmission
We're talking, but alas, what is hostile
Can never know how there can be disguise
He's hiding in the shadows waiting for
The moment when you know there is despise,
Contained in every fear, and from the floor.

Scary...'He's hiding in the shadows waiting for...The moment when you know there is despise' these are haunting lines...a warning for all of us to be always alert...

Hiding in the shadows has really gotten my mind working over-time! I know that now I will never be able to sleep tonight! You have given me such fright!
