Night Terror

In the moonlit sky a menacing bat flies overhead
It comes through the window, eyes glowing red
Taking human form it stands over your waiting bed
Swiftly you are bitten, devoured, drained dry, left for dead
Hunger having been satisfied, it leaves fully fed
Once again it takes to the sky, filling all hearts with dread
Now to the place that it dwells, it walks the halls among the undead
In a satin-lined coffin, it closes the lid without a word said
