Ok, this one has a bit of a story behind it. I found this one day in a notebook, on some random page...not that unusual, I tend to do my writing on random pages. And this poem was definitly in my hand writing, no question. But....I didn't remember writing it. I still don't. And the weirdest thing is that it is not in my usual style and certainly not my usual content. In fact it gave me the goosebumps...still does, really. So if you want an explaination as to where this crazy thing came from, sorry, can't help you, I have no idea. And that's how it got its title.
When the moon hangs in low in an obsidian sky, be wary.
Take to your sheltering lamp
Guard your children and sleep not
For on such night still waters ripple
Out of a boiling inferno foul creatures rise
Throwing off sheets of scarlet liquid
The thundering tread among the windy howls of their victims
They search through the darkness for souls to steal
Hapless wonderers fall victim to their fangs
Children tucked in safe homes soon are missed without a trace
Parents weep, for their children now serve the master of the night,
Whose foul laughter echoes through the mourning village at dawn
When under a blood-red moon beware
For soon you will know true fear
Night has stronger claws then a bear
The witching hour grows too near
Monsters will rise from the scarlet deep
Mothers hold your children to you tight
Sorrow will come to those that sleep
Your young will be stolen to serve the ruler of the night
Their moans will howl in the wind
