The Shadow’s Call

He whispers in our ears at night
and wakes us with a fright. 
We see his shadow on the wall
and hear his creepy call. 

Come children, come and follow me
and learn what you will be. 
Come walk while still my shadow's here
and I will teach you fear. 

And some will walk, and some will hide,
and some remain though they have died, 
but still he lingers in the hall; 
and still I hear the shadow call. 

Come…
