Riddle me tender

Though I may speak in riddles, it tends to tell a tale
One like no other, once captured under the spell 
What lurks in the shadows, there's lasting discontent 
And there upon the gallows, where many lives were spent 
Lies a truth within the walls, life within the trees
Valley of death arrives, alone at ones bare feet
The crow trusts no one, as the fox he is sly
The creeper of the moon, the Apple of my eye
