Analysis of OUT OF THE SINISTER DARK

Out of the sinister dark
Evil creatures are hiding,
Hoping to follow late travellers
Back to where they are residing.

Beings from another era
Somehow lost in space and time,
Come to haunt a town by night
From some now long-lost clime.

Bat-winged and scaly
Prehistoric monsters roam,
Hoping to catch lone journeyers
Before they get safely back home.

Verdillacs and pterodons
Watching quarry passing by,
Waiting for a chance to swoop
On out of the night sky.

Out of the sinister dark
Come shoggoths and Night Gaunts,
Which come out to stalk humans
From their mountainous haunts.

Gargoyles, goblins, gremlins
Hoping soon to feast upon,
Lost humans out after darkfall,
Innocents whose time has come.

Out of the sinister dark
Hideous beings are leaping,
While around your unlit house
Monstrous things are creeping.

In the dark and awful night
Behemoths come out to play,
Hunting human beings to death
To feast by the foul moon's rays.
