Castle

The gnarled rock..... On which the castle stands Haunting beauty..... Above the green lands Ruined battlements, speak of previous engagements Hard dark stone The castle.... Stands alone Battered walls have withstood.... Natures' harshest winter Wars,weapons of steel........ Men heal...... Wood splinter If it could.... Castle.... Would Flickering glow..... Upon the gnarled rock, from long ago Castle.... It knows Wooden beams creak Moonlight to seek The gnarled rock..... The castle keep.... Waiting for the key...... To turn in rusty lock The wind howls On the gnarled rock On which the castle stands Hoot of owls Castle..... Brooding over green lands Flickering glow..... On the battlements Silent stone Castle..... Dark and alone Memories from long ago Past glories Flickering glow Castle stories........ From long ago The gnarled rock guards the castle Flickering glow, in a deadened sky...... From long ago
