All Alone, In The House

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft ---------------------------------- Lyrics by : Modern Bard Lyrics and Music: © 2025 Modern Bard All rights reserved. ---------------------------------- I can hear The soft rain And something's near A window pane I try to see Through misty glass But there's a tree Moving too fast I'm inside but something's out Wind is howling, branches sway A shadow moves, no room for doubt Earlier, the cat was there, but But now, the porch is empty, cold and gray My heart it beats A frantic drum So I peek through The window some A figure in the night No face in the light Such a fright! I'm inside but something's out Thunder rumbles, a chilling shout A shadow moves, no room for doubt I was alone, no were to pout I'm all alone In the house Something's lurking Prowling about I can't escape This nightmare shape My soul to take! But then I see It's just the tree Scratching the glass In the dark!
