You’re in the wrong castle
by Andres Diaz
Copyright 2017
In the castle you run
You find no place to hide
They’re breathing down your neck
The ghosts of those that died
You shouldn’t have gone into the dungeon
The monsters have come out to play
Rattling chains and scraping tools
Your flesh they want to flay
You’re running out of breath
They’re closing in on your location
Your heart is pounding faster
Your death is their vocation
You should have heeded the warning
There was no hidden treasure
And now you’re trapped inside
With demons who’ll use you for their pleasure
Now you’ll rest at last
Covered with decay and mold
But for the inhabitants of the castle
Their games never get old.
