The Crypt Keeper
Such a brave crue, your comrades and you.
Venturing out under the demon moon.
Let me guess my friends, you seek a tale to tell.
of the full moon'd night when you visited... well....
Then welcome!...Young seekers of mystery and doom.
Come into my crypt, I won't disappoint you.
It's not so bad really, if you can adjust to the cold.
The cold helps curb the smell of decay and mold.
I will tell you things that will turn every hair white.
and strike you blind with maddening fright.
Once total madness has taken it's toll.
The perfect awareness will swallow your soul.
The corpse talked on...long into the night
His captive audience frozen with fright
And when it was light out and a new day begun
He let them all go...all save one.
