///// Nightdwellers 'Beginning Line' Challenge (October 1st) /////
Since it is the month of the old Hallowe’en malarkey I thought this beginning line quite apt to start something spooky, freaky, frightening or mysterious… ‘A GOATS HEAD EFFIGY HANGS IN THE SHADOWS’…Tag it #nightdwellers #beginningline. Go crazy ;)

A goats head effigy hangs in the shadows
The all seeing eye rolls back into white
A dead man twitches in the gallows
In stop frame motion the moon enters night
Candles burn while blood begins to flow
Each drip a story of something you shouldn’t know
The crystals sway and you’re urged to drink
From a goblet of history your mind begins to kink
Candles and seduction, sex and destruction
As the world gives way to a darker instruction
Books and bells, hex’s and spells
Puppets on fingers to do as I tell
To control
To Possess
A darker life to confess
Black cat bone
Your thoughts are not your own
A darker road to roam
As incantations stain your skin
You are now ready. To. Do. My. Bidding...
