It was a dark and stormy night
Ten people's hearts were filled with fright,
Until out goes the lights,
Then there were nine.

It was getting pretty late, nobody
Knew a better place until
The room had a little more space,
Then there were eight.

A thousand times the hounded said it;
They're not ready to go to Heaven,
Then out walked Devin
And now there are seven.

Three people grabbed sticks,
Three others grabbed some bricks
When they heard a high pitch
They realized they were six.

Their hearts took a dive, they said
"We're running out of time ",
About this they were right
Now they are five.

They ran to a locked door
Thought they couldn't take anymore.
Can you imagine their horror
When they realized there were four?

Then they started to scream,
She was the one who had the key!
I believe the middle one peed
When he realized they were three.

They didn't know just what to do,
So the middle one tried to lock the room,
But soon he met his doom.

Now there are two.

This crooked game couldn't be won,
They decided they'd just run
For the girl with asthma it wasn't fun,
Yet she still managed to be my favorite
Number. Yes!
She was the last one.

Now much to your surprise
This next part won't rhyme
Oops I lied, this is just a warning
Don't close your eyes, not until
The sunrise.

The last ran to the closet
And had a delight
Everyone else was there, though not alive
Then she saw the sign that they seemed to hide
'Turn around'
She obliged and became wide eyed.

Do you want to know why?
She saw the mastermind
She saw the untamed
She realized her sibling was to blame.

I mean what can I say?
I just really love games!
When the night was done, I walked out
And there were none.

If I were you I'd trust no one
I mean I could be almost anyone,
Even the person behind you
Now I know you're you.
I saw you look,
Even if you didn't move
You can probably guess what I'm trying to say.

I'll give you just one minute,
Then I'm on my way
After all what can I say? I'd told you once;
I just really Love games.
