There�s a flash, my eyes snap open.
I hear thunder but it is distant
And a cur�s bark.
The bark again but this time broken
By a blood curdling scream, instant
Shiver, electric spark.
I hear a voice something�s spoken
Incoherent but insistent,
I loathe it here in the dark.
Behind me my bedroom door slams open
In an instant the darkness is broken
I hear thunder but still its distant
And a cur�s bark.
