A Loathsome Lullaby

In a village veiled by shadows deep
Lived a witch whose vengeance she vowed to keep
Condemned to hang, her spirit filled with ire
She whispered a curse as she faced the pyre

As the noose tightened, her eyes gleamed with malice
Promising rebirth and a sinister chalice
The villagers cheered, unaware of their plight
For the witch would return, engulfed in the night

Years passed, and the village slumbered unaware
The darkness stirring, of the witch's snare
She bided her time, bidding evil to thrive
Creeping through shadows, ready to deprive

Nightmares invaded their minds, a relentless swarm
As the witch's presence grew, unsettling the norm
Her wicked fingers, like tendrils, crept Invading their dreams, where terror swept

Sleep became a prison, a gateway to dread
As the witch's venom seeped into each bed
Visions of blood, of death, consumed their slumber
As she unleashed her vengeance, an unforgiving number

The villagers woke, their souls gripped by fear
But the witch's malice whispered, "I'm here."
She manifested in their waking hours too
Creeping through thoughts, her power she drew

Madness engulfed the village, its sanity gone
As the witch's darkness continued to spawn
She swarmed their minds, an invading form
Feeding on their pain, her desires were born

No savior emerged to end their plight
For the witch's power was an unyielding blight
She laughed in the face of those who resist
As their feeble attempts were swiftly dismissed

Blood stained the streets, death's symphony played
As the witch reveled in the havoc she made
Her vengeance erupted, an infernal fire
Consuming the village in her malevolent desire

Silent screams echoed, drowned by the night
As the villagers succumbed to the witch's might
They pleaded for mercy, for a sliver of light
But the witch's darkness shrouded their sight

The village fell into eternal sleep
Its fate sealed by the witch's promise to keep
No hope, no respite from her relentless invasion
As she reveled in the chaos, a queen of damnation

So remember the tale of the village's plight
Where the witch's malice extinguished the light
For vengeance unfettered knows no bounds
And darkness prevails where hope confounds
