Midnight Castle

Midnight castle
Under the stars
Lighting flashes distant

Unnerving all yet
Strangely inviting
Hear the cries of wars past

Midnight castle
Brings me smiles
Joys and tears

Memories, like screams
Held within these walls
Echoing back at me

Midnight castle
Old and worn
Rusted nails, broken boards

Calling us in
Drawing us near
Walking through the doors

Midnight castle
Tall and dark
Beckoning with a moan

Creek by creek
Climb the stairs
Look down upon the land

Midnight castle
Gray and bleak
Closing it's doors

Slowly, slowly closing
Locking away our secrets and tales
For yet another year gone...
