Analysis of HORROR FILLS THE DREADFUL NIGHT
Horror fills the dreadful night
As shrill howling fills the air,
Creatures from Lovecraftian tales
Far too much for the mind to bear.
Elder Gods and foul Nyarlathotep
Shoggoths and evil Night Gaunts
Fill the town with screaming fear
As in the loathsome night, they haunt.
Horrors from the dawn of time
Come to terrorise the present day,
Cone-like beings dark and sinister
Hunting 'neath the moon's foul rays.
Great Cthulhu and Father Yig
Raining death down on humanity,
Enough to make you die of fright
Or drive you deep into insanity.
Horror fills the dreadful night
As evil entities are creeping around,
Paralysing all of the innocents
Sleeping in this doom-cursed town.
Yog-Sothoth and Shi-Ni-Wei
Hunt beneath the blood-red moon,
Hoping for some human victims
They can drag down to their doom.
Evil from beyond time and space
As horror fills the dreadful night,
Hoping to wreak chaos on humankind
In the scarlet rays of moonlight.
Nothing breathing will stay alive
In this awful, bedevilled town,
As night fiends go out hunting
Hoping to bring humanity down.
THE END
