Can you hear?

Can you hear the silent call of ghostly visions?
Can you sense the wind as it brushes past the gravestones?
Can you feel a pair of eyes watching your every move?

Can you hear a crow as it swoops down below?
Can you hear a dying soul whispering for help?
Can you hear footsteps following you on a dark, rainy night?
Do you know death waiting at your door?

Can you hear the moon calling to you?
Can you hear the icy cold wind slicing through your body like a knife?
Can you hear voices, when you know you are alone?
Can you hear your soul drifting away from your body?

Can you feel a chill spreading over your body?
Can you hear someone screaming when you know the room is silent?
Can you see your life flashing before your eyes?
Can you hear your soul drifting back to your body?

Are You Alive NOW?
