A Nightly Preparation

Lighting the lamps
And praying for life
All but one thing you've forgotten tonight

To lock your doors
And close the blinds
They might just get into your mind

Protection comes at a great cost
For we all know everyone's loss

Your insignificant preparations
Will not suffice in the presentation
Aid yourself in your self defense

Because of these dark night terrors
Loved ones and enemies will fail for their errors
Down down to the ground they go

After their hearts ripped out and eaten
No one knows if they will go to heaven

Again, I say this dark night
Muster up your strength and might
And do not turn out your light
