It Won't Die

It won't leave me alone this night  
 
It haunts the corners of the days  
 
This terror and thing of fright  
 
Why won't it just go away  
 
Scratching along at my floors  
 
Please don't let it in  
 
It's whispering at the door  
 
Words blacker than mortal sin  
 
I can smell the fetid rot  
 
This thing that should not be  
 
It stalks my halls and thoughts  
 
Braying with twisted insanity  
 
The dead won't be still and lie  
 
Things that just bite and scratch  
 
God it's not gonna die
 
Pray it can't move the latch
