Now I lay me down to sleep

In my dreams the demons creep

Night surrounds on every side

Desperate need to run and hide

Crawling through a land of black

Waiting for their first attack

Muscles tense and shake with fear

Heartbeat pulsing in my ear

Drops of sweat bead down my brow

No way to escape them now

Brimstone stench about the air

Caught within their Hellish lair

Glowing eyes that pierce the night

Stay out of the monster's sight

Burning ozone, iron taste

Not a moment can I waste

Press my body to the ash

Feign I do not feel the gash

Rusted needles pierce my skin

Loosing poison deep within

Crashing footsteps close behind

Screeching whispers in my mind

Something watching, something there

Feel the glaring, piercing stare

Feel the claws around my leg

Stare into its jaws and beg

Face of broken, splintered skulls

Pain grows sharp as vision dulls

Lowered into gaping maw

Darkness was the last I saw

I lay in my stretcher bed

Crash survivor, nearly dead

Wrapped in bandage, wracked with pain

Hypodermics in my vein

Medicine to keep me out

Else in agony I'd shout

By my bedside, parents cry

Watch their only child die

Pray the Lord my soul to take

From my dreams, I'll never wake
