Believe a dream can tell the future?
Running, running, running,
That's all she does.
Running, running, running,
Its all she can do.
Running, running, running,
She cant stop.
Running, running, running,
She just can't escape.

BANG! BANG! BANG!
She can't stand that sound!
She cant escape it.
They're running after her.
Run faster, run faster!
They're coming, they're coming!
They'll catch u, they'll catch u!
They'll kill u, they'll kill u!
Must escape.

The 1 with the black hat,
Who has a dangerous eye,
With an eye patch
And a rope around his neck.
He'll slip the rope around your neck,
As he promised to do if u were found.

Running, running, running
Is what she does.
Running, running, running,
She has no choice.
Running, running, running,
She can't stop!
Running, running, running,
You'd better run faster!
Running, running, running,
She runs faster,
Panting for every breath,
She can only go faster.
Knowing she has to escape.

The other has a small thing that creates a BANG!
And kills loved ones, like her mother and father.
He has black long hair piled on top his head.

Running, running, running,
She has, at last, reached the end.
She's at the edge of a cliff she knows.
As she's been here a thousand times before.
She can either jump or be killed.
Catching her breath,
She knows of only one choice,
And jjuuuummmpsss...................................................

And awakens to the bright, reassuring light of her room. Analeese, her adoptive mother, is in her room, about to awaken her. She opens her mouth to speak, but the girl shakes her head. The dream had occured twice tonight, which she knew it predicted the future for tonight. She senses something black, that same thing she did 2 years ago, the night her parents were killed. No sound is heard, but she knows they're here. She beckons to Analeese, and breaking her window, she starts running. Analeese follows too, running to keep up. They reach the cliff she's seen in  her dreams every night for the past 2 weeks. Like in her dream, she jumps, Analeese watching and mourning the child who had to die. She knew who those men were, yes, but she couldn't do anything about it. The 8-yr-old would've made a difference in the world. A subtle, yet noticeable, difference.
