outlined against the sky
our spines were chilled
and our hearts were filled
with fear to go inside
but we have only a short time
before the sky turns gray
and the creature of the night
spreads his wings in flight
in his search for human prey
as I reach the castle door
my assistant rings the bell
I was filled with fright
My throat went tight
And I shouted "what the hell?"
I smacked him upside the head
and told him to open the door
He opened it wide
and went inside
and fell right through the floor
I ran up to the hole
expecting he was dead
yet I was amazed
he was only dazed
for he landed on a bed
I helped him climb back up
and we were off once again
for somewhere near
was our greatest fear
we had to face it like men
a couple hours later
we entered into a room
I caught my breath
and went as cold as death
for there was Dracula�s tomb
a coffin made of stone
covered with a layer of dust
I knew it wouldn�t be easy
for the heavy lid was greasy
but remove that lid we must
a chill went down my spine
the sun was almost down
barely above the ground
I knew there wasn�t much time
we grabbed onto the side
and lifted with all our might
with all of our strain
it was simple and plain
the cover was holding tight
I tried to spit on my hands
hoping for a better grip
my partner started yelling
about what there was no telling
when I realized I let the cover slip
his fingers were being crushed
by the heavy lid of stone
I was sick with despair
god as my witness I swear
I could hear the crunching of his bones
I couldn�t lift up the stone
there was no other way to choose
I put my arms around his chest
and put my strength to the test
and pulled till I heard the fingers pop loose
my friend was passed out cold
I was tired and needed a rest
I leaned on the lid
and the whole thing slid
so I put my hand on the side and pressed
with the simplest of ease it moved
I was almost to scared to look
but I pushed it open wide
and forced a look inside
and found it to be filled with books
I ran over to the window
I could hear my own heart beat
as the creature of the night
spread his wings and took flight
from the house across the street
