Have You No Mercy?

Lay your head down
and close your eyes tight
fall asleep my sweet child

walking out the door
then turn just once more
at your sweet sleeping face
before i to close my eyes

creek the door open
only a crack
to find the black creature
at the foot of your bed

its head slowly turns
its red eyes ablaze
its leather black skin
stretched around its frame

it opens its mouth
and lets out a hiss
one step i take
to pretect you my child

a growl rolls from its chest
lunging forward
to keep your from him
its black claws get to you first

a scream is then herd
from my child that is
he has now changed
my once beautiful child
into a moster of the deep
and of the dark shall you hide

but still i love you
that i still do
tho i can not protect you
from the evil to come
