Thardic Nursery Rhyme
The Dance of Death by Hans Holbein the Younger
When fear sets in and darkness falls,
He'll bring the nightmares to one and all,
Blackest spirit and coldest core,
Tarry not too late, lest death snatch you from your very door.

Love it, decidedly creepy like many really old nursery rhymes. If you don’t mind, I will see if I can work this into my game.
Thanks for the complement! I liked the creepiness too. No worries, you have carte blanche to use anything you find on my site.
