Hambrientos y traviesos
Esperan su oportunidad para devorar
a los débiles en la Nochde los Lamentos

Tus miedos. Y roban tu alma,
Pero tu cuerpo permanece...y nadie nota la diferencia"

Usan nuestros nombres y caras, pero no son nosotros.
Lo más peligroso es cuando nos dicen: "No hay nada de que asustarse..." En realidad, es mucho lo que viene por temer"

Una vez dentro, no hay salida.
En lo oscuro permanecerá, perdido por siempre, entre el miedo y la duda"
