At High St, he lurks in the shadows

A stranger with an eerie glow

His eyes are piercing, his presence menacing

Making the townspeople tremble in foreboding

No one knows where he came from

But everyone fears his ghastly form

Some say he's a ghost, others a demon

But all agree he's not of this human realm

He creeps in the alleys, slithering like a snake

Watching and waiting for his next prey

The town's so scared, no one dares go out at night

For fear of encountering the stranger’s fright

The Menacing Stranger at High St

A narrative of horror and doom it seems

Will the town ever be free from his grasp?

Or is this their eternal punishment at last?

In fear they huddle behind locked doors

Whispering prayers for mercy, begging for more

But the stranger's power grows stronger each day

As he patiently waits for souls to come his way

So beware, dear friends, if you dare to walk High St

For the Menacing Stranger might be waiting for thee

And once he captures your soul, it's gone forever

A haunting reminder of his terrifying endeavor.
