Keep the doors closed windows boarded up
Soon they will arrive
Play her favorite games by candlelight
Keep her occupied
They’ll come for us tonight
Burrow in the makeshift caves she loves
Toys lay at her side
Can you read that story once again
Right up to the end?
What will come if they do not return
and the beasts tear at the walls
Down the depths we’ll slip out through the cracks
Eyes locked on the path
