Curse of Middleton
Upon a fleeing
Man, the curse of Middleton
Raven kept an eye
On his ill begotten path
Terrible fate crosses him
He saw the horrid
Unthinkable truth of past
Of a man who killed
For fun, left his place of rest
Now runs free to curse again
How he fears this ghost
For he murdered families
While they’re in their sleep
Dreaded evil of the town
Is free to frighten again
The raven watches
And sure sees his every move
The man knows time’s short
The ghost will be upon him
And the curse will be complete
The curse imposes
That the man who found evil
Will carry the soul
Of the raven, to do more
Of the murders as before
Now he must warn all
That live in this humble town
What comes this dark night
So they can prepare for him
And cast his soul to darkness
