Poem
Now, gather ye roond an ye listen well. I have me a story, I have a tale tae tell, Of a young man born near these hills of green Who wandered these dales and was again never seen Why he went there we may never know. Where blood was spilt for the devil's throne. We all know tis not a place t'be, For tis a road leading to purgatory.

As that evil thing tries to make his kill
