7th Guest

Lights out, strike a match
The rain begins to pour
Lightning makes shadows dance
Across the bolted door
A letter from beyond
Read with spiraled eyes
A stranger cloaked in night
Offers you a ride!
Carriage left you at the gate
Read the invite: don’t be late
Evenin' you won’t soon forget
When you meet the SEVENTH GUEST
Six come and find their seats
Not one of them’s awake
Lights dim, the air is still
The table starts to shake
They all turn pale as bone
Except the evening’s host
The drapes take shape and flight
It’s dinner with a ghost!
Tinge of murder fills the halls
As crimson pours from crumbling' walls
Eerie pounding in your chest
Who invoked the SEVENTH GUEST
In haunted corridors
Reverberating cries
Entrance while shapeless phantoms
Beckon you outside
Stumble through the woods
Regretting that you ever even came
Cuz there you find six open graves
And one’s marked with your name!
Chill of murder haunts the grounds
Amidst the bay of blood-breathed hounds
Another has been laid to rest
Victim of the SEVENTH GUEST
You can try to run
(But he will find you)
You can scream out for help
(But they can’t hide you)
You might think that you’re safe
(But look behind you)
No one escapes
He’s sealed your fate
No one escapes
The seventh guest!
