tower of the dead
it has happened
I feel it
they are out there
I know it
and although I've not seen them
ran from or succumbed to them
they are out there
I feel it
this tower
stands tall after the midnight hour
is it shelter?
it has what we need for now
like food and power
ammunition
but for how long?
the many halls will soon darken
the shadows terrorize
and the walls start making noise
it's more than just tricks
to the ears and eyes
we're not just simply paranoid
the threat is real
I feel it
and our fate...
the dead will seal it
I know it
I feel it
they are out there
I know it
and although I've not seen them
ran from or succumbed to them
they are out there
I feel it
this tower
stands tall after the midnight hour
is it shelter?
it has what we need for now
like food and power

but for how long?
the many halls will soon darken
the shadows terrorize
and the walls start making noise
it's more than just tricks
to the ears and eyes
we're not just simply paranoid
the threat is real
I feel it
and our fate...
the dead will seal it
I know it

I like this. Until the words "power, ammunition" I was thinking it was some ancient tale; I was in Middle England (or somewhere).

This was based on a dream I had in an office building. Though you could mentally replace those words with "fire, arms" to suit it to the time.
Thank you for reading.
