Amidst the darkness, I hear the song of Raptors rage
Their song different, more like a bird in a cage singing to the pitter patter of rain in the night
Stalking their prey, ready to bite
Frozen by fear I hide
Drowning in darkness out of sight
I know they loom near
But I’m stuck here
Just a man, I can’t escape frozen like a deer in car lights
Buried like an ostrich in the sand,
I try to withstand this primal land
But danger is always at hand
The Raptors sound unique their squeals, clicks, and chirps echo tearing at mind
Confidence dwindling, my bravery left behind
I can't escape the pack even tho I’ve been trying
Soon I'll be their meal, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Urine and sweat, my pungent scent
Iuring them near
Marinating in fear, I feel so bare
I’ve succumb to despair
waiting for my impending doom
knowing my fate will unfold soon
My life flashing like wall carvings in my new stone tomb
I taste tears as I realize soon
I’ll be their snack beneath the moon
