Creatures in the night

[Song] We have grown up with what the elders had instilled in us. But the choice to progress in life is ours, start by questioning conformity.

Back then when I was a child,
The elders used to give me a fright.
Telling me stories about the creatures that
Come out late in the night
They told me if i misbehaved
They will come to take me away
So scared by the creepy tales
I tried so hard not to sleep late.

And then i heard an airy sigh
Like a hiss in the night
Thought i was dreaming
A hand reached out and to my surprise
They all were beaming
The picturesque faces of childhood fear came to life
But affinity took over the fright
Stifled spark of glee began to ignite

I'm seeing creatures in the night
Those ones that used to give me fright
They told me that I shouldn't fight
For ones who had put my soul to die
In every minute i lie awake
Slowly manifesting are the signs
Of monstrous evolution ever arise
Be of the creatures in the night.

I have always been enslaved
By distorted minds and twisted lies
Raping my callow mind
Feeling so sinful and defied
Suffering in my cranial hell
A spill of blood on floor i fell
A delusional Utopia emerged
A drearyland evoking blissful urge

But then i heard a roar inside
Like a fille out of mind
Thought i was dreaming
I closed my eyes and to my surprise
They all went screaming
I ran to the hallway trying to get rid of the signs
But it seems to be that it will not die
For the creature they fear all along was me all these times!

I'm seeing creatures in the night
Amazed me with the Gothic sight
Enlightened me on dark delight
For God made both the day and night
The terror abides in the head
For the truth must be sought instead
And ken the glory of this life
Thanks to the creatures in the night.

oh no, they ARE there...i remember...

under the bed, in the closet...everywhere around us, just waiting, waiting...

parents shouldn't scare kids like that.

Indeed Sir. It can create such impact on kids that can affect their perception of life. Thank you for the insight Sir :)
