In the silence of the darkness
The stranger came to call
He banged on doors with hardness
Disturbing one and all.
The stranger he was solemn
Black cape wrapped round his form
His footsteps soundly trodden
His presence like a storm
Who was that man the stranger
No one dared to go and look
He seem to be a danger
No one saw the path he took.
