Can You Solve This Riddle? by MasterKtops(m): 6:11pm On Sep 02, 2014
I recently came across this riddle which I had first seen two years ago. On that website, people were just arguing and we never really agreed. According to one report, only 10 per cent of people ever get it. Do you think you can get it? It goes by many names, but lemme call it this:

The Nigerian Puzzle:

I sing when the rain pours
In your nightmares I dwell
A mockery of your flaws
You fear me more than hell.

You hear me but can't reply
I make priests and goons tremble
I live until all die
Worst memories I cobble.

What am I?

I don't think it's the wind because it says "The mockery of all your flaws" and "You fear me more than hell".
