Arkham Asylum
A prison for those with imprisoned mind
who left their sanity behind;
Those who, by law, are criminally insane
who commit crime again and again;
Those who can swing blade without hesitation
and take a life without any emotion.
A "serious house on serious earth"
that houses crooks without a heart.
Except for the case of Mr. Freeze
who can die without cold breeze,
it houses crooks like the cunning Joker
who can cheat death like in poker.
Arkham Asylum: an insane house for the insane,
for order here is hard to maintain;
For even the gods of this insane prison
have lost their will and reason.
