EVIL SPEAKS

“Evil Speaks”

Evil speaks

A rum tatta rum

Words spelled out like sounds on a drum 

When you hear them 

you’d better run 

A rum tatta rum

A rum tatta rum 

When they come, they come so fast,

These sounds, these words

They linger, they last

Sounds blaring now

Sounds like a blast

A rum tatta rum

A rum tatta rum

Drum noise so pounding

It’s all you can hear

Crazy swirling in your head

Begging for it to disappear

And now, a ringing in your ears.

Your heart throbs and now jumps from your chest,

You have reached the climax of your fears. 

Your muscles tense and body parts writhe 

A rum tatta rum 

Feeling pressure behind your eyes

A rum tatta rum

You plead, you drop,

“Is it ever going to stop?”

A rum tatta rum

A rum tatta rum

You’ve had all you can take, and you can’t take anymore.

A rum tatta rum

Suddenly, before you appears a door,

A rum tatta rum

You open your eyes;

You’re sweaty but awake. 

No rum tatta rum

Just your own bed to make.
