The Shivers

The holidays have fallen feel the joy and cheer With winter now upon them festivities have come Young girl first to perish lost now all her air In the cage she found the wolf stalking out the sheep Piercing through the tension a screaming sound As rocking chair now sits victim one Uneasy manifestations shrieking down the line The massacre's firmly in place Something's on the prowl the shivers alive within the walls Its creeping up and down the stairs possessed by lunacy A hybrid of anguish creates the fiend at hand As someone or something's obsessed by death tonight An elder face amongst the crowd the hook has left its mark The curious cat is dead dangling from the sky Victim three the intelect a drunken sunken fool With smothered lungs she dies alone her life destroyed by glass Something's on the prowl the shivers alive within the walls Its creeping up and down the stairs possessed by lunacy A hybrid of anguish creates the fiend at hand As someone or something's obsessed by death tonight As playful children fill the air with joyous melody An aura fills the silent night with promises of death Terror creep sorority in obscene disarray While dormant silence conjures up a brooding energy And ragged nerves supply the fright that's needed for the game Stranded now in full suspense the pawns await to fall Nervous mind nervous soul nervous mind nervous soul Nervous mind nervous soul nervous mind nervous soul The shivers shivers inform that all's unwell The shivers shivers know the pawns will fall Nervous mind nervous soul nervous mind nervous soul Nervous mind nervous soul nervous mind Silent as church mouse the devil's broken free Invisible takes to shape and creates a hive of screams Creates the hive of screams The evil night lingers on Torment turns to terror and soon there's only one The fiend is stalking in their lair the place they call their home As help arrives to salvage lives that hopefully remain Minstrel black amongst the cold there is no guiding light A worried father feels the gloom and quickly comes apart His child not found his torture goes on But there's a heartbeat in this tomb detailing all this mess A state of shock weighs in agony Something's on the prowl the shivers alive within the walls Its creeping up and down the stairs possessed by lunacy A hybrid of anguish creates the fiend at hand As someone or something's obsessed by death tonight The lone survivor overcome now rests in shaken bliss While shadows loom in waiting to reveal the final act And now its grasp surrounds us and order's not restored As all goes dark the shivers live upon this evil night
