The Ominous

Disrupted in my peaceful sleep
By sounds familiar again
Dormant spirits in this creaking house
Come again for pleasure and pain

Cold
Afraid
Dark
Restless souls disrupting my sleep

They claim the house as theirs
And come alive at dusk
Lost among the dead
Revealing the horrors of afterlife

Cold, still decaying they roam the night
Afraid of changes disrupting their world
Dark in mind and dark in heart
Restless souls demanding to return again

The ominous they
Lost and ridden with grief
Returning to obtain serenity

Cold, still decaying they roam the night
Afraid of changes disrupting their world
Dark in mind and dark in heart
Restless souls demanding to return again

Lurking in the shadows awaiting the night to come
Reliving life in an endless vortex of pain and suffering
Trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead
They cry out in frustration remembering past lives
