Analysis of PURGATORY HILL
In a place called Purgatory Hill
Evil creatures swarm around,
Death bringers haunt the air
Burrowers crawl underground.
Foulness fills the atmosphere
Loathsome Shoggoths overhead,
Watching all movement below
Swooping down to claw and shred.
Night Gaunts, Babadook, Goblins
Wyverns exhaling noxious breath,
Gassing animals and people below
Almost all fall slowly into death.
Evil behemoths stalk the night
In a place called Purgatory Hill,
Lion-like Manticores go hunting
Hoping soon to make a kill.
Innocents hide safely inside
Trying to survive the night-time,
Hoping not to be slaughtered
By monsters haunting this foul clime.
As the twilight starts to fall
Horrid monsters star shrilling,
As they roam the sleeping town
Longing soon to make a killing.
Travellers, Postmen, and reapers
Roam the fallen town by night,
Wanting soon to find a victim
Eviscerating all at first sight.
In a place called Purgatory Hill
Leviathans come out to play,
Hoping soon to commit mayhem
'Fore hiding from the bright new day.
THE END
