Black Hood

By Kaylarae

Black Hood

fleeting shadows behind you
gone when you look too close
running like a deamon, you are!
...the hood's at your back

haunting songs of fear, wailing
the forest is alive
run, pray Erael, for your life!
...the hood's at your back

coward! make a stand!
your weapon of study wood and metal
girpped in your hands..stand!
..the hood's at your back

strike! you're no match!
foolish peasant, your blows are for naught!
the hunted and the hunted
..the hood's at your back

breath caught in your throat
chest tight with fear
running like a mad man
..the hoods at your back

Ereal Bless! the temple doors!
open arms of haven, safe!
shut out the hood with heavy locks
was the hood still at your back?

calm, slow, deliberate
sounds of an old door behind you
open your eyes.
..the hoods at your back
