BLOOD RUNS COLD
Blood runs hot
Blood runs cold,
Night terror chills
Right through your soul;
Blood runs thick
From gaping wounds,
Blood runs out
Onto the ground;
Blood runs thick
And blood runs fast,
This night may be
Your very last;
Blood runs feebly
As heartbeat slows,
And death creeps near
To claim your bones.
THE END
