Run Run Run

In a little town that, not so very far astray... A little girl screams, telling you to run away...

In a little town, that’s not so very far astray

A little girl screams, telling you to run away

Behind her is a scene, painted in black and grey

The fear in her eyes, clear…as…bright…days

 

Suddenly she’s gone, nowhere that’s in your sight

Eyes widened in fear, take some steps back in fright

Then the darkness falls, day turning into night

Can you tell you’re scared, put…up…a…fight

 

Run run run, run away before you die

Run run run, best not to close your eyes

Run run run, a fate to not deny

Keep-run-ning-and-you’ll-sur-vive

 

Did you hear of the cat, t’was killed by curiosity

Satisfaction brought it back, became a fierce monstrosity

Don’t go into that town, your fate will be atrocity

Listen to our words, vis…co…si…ty

 

You followed that grim path, nothing can save you now

From here you’re all alone, a life death will not allow

Didn’t listen to our words, hear the wolves final howl

It’s sad what you’ve become, re…duced…to…chow

 

Didn’t run run run, away before you die

Didn’t run run run, too bad you closed your eyes

Didn’t run run run, a fate tried to deny

Should-have-kept-just-walk-ing-by

 

Devil dances ‘round, singing a happy tune

You’re body lying still, in the light of the moon

No grave for you tonight, death that was all too soon

And with your final words, “Should…have…list...ened…to…you…”

Author's Note

This was originally a song I wrote, and trust me it sounds a lot better sung then what it does read on paper...
