Fear

[Icefire]

The moon rises high
A cloud drifts over
The forest lies in shadow
A movement in the trees
And the fear sets in

I grip the gun
In a shaky hand
A sound to the left
Like sifting sand

The beast moves in
I cannot face it
I run from the scream
A sound of madness

The path twists and turns
Then i stop, for the beast is in front
Turning i stumble, fear swelling inside
The ground begins to rumble

The beast closes in
I aim and fire
But the beast takes no notice
I try to stand but fear brings me down
The beast is upon me
The end is here
And all because of my fear....
