No, heaven&#039;s not a place that you go when you die<br /> It&#039;s that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive<br /> So live for the moment<br /> And take this advice, live by every word<br /> Love&#039;s completely real, so forget anything that you&#039;ve heard<br /> And live for the moment now

The ghoulish howl
Echoing through my mind
The goblin prowl

Pulsating with screams
Innocent children left behind
The river trickles with moonbeams

Roaring with evil
Ghastly faces lurk
Cowering, Pathetic, Feeble

A slash and swift hack
River left with scarlet murk
Run don’t look back
Run don’t look back
