The Legend of Leap Castle

THE LEGEND OF LEAP CASTLE In the dark shadows of the ancient past, Creatures move within the kingdom of darkness, Hidden illusions of faded forms of existence, roaming the hallowed Halls in echoing’s of delusions, royal tombs shudder beneath The grounds at leap castle in Ireland, for here the haunted remain in Silhouetted ruins of life ethereal! It started with the slain royal holy priest, slain in the midst of the Lords words of Spiritism, at his own brother’s envious sword arm, Greed’s fever driving him with the madness of fortunes purse strings! But a deeper evil bore itself within the bowels of the castle hidden Keep, those murdered by impalements sharpened point edge, Then left for the courts rats to feast upon, three cartloads Taken by the future were these skeletal bones removed, Unknown by names thus so buried in a mass grave of the Undisguisable! But this sacrilege awakened something horrid, an unnatural Entity, a supernatural beast known as simply the elemental, Or thing, residents in residence in this unholy place of the Hauntings ethereal displaced! Whom knows for which it came, this vile creature of the Demonic darkness, oozing with the foul odor of burnt flesh, And molds decay, the beast roams without mercy’s reverence, Tormenting the living, driving them utterly mad at the sight of Him! Wrapped in the shaggy hair of the untempt dog, it has the Piercing eyes of the hell hound, yet the boney fingers of death Touch at the living to torment, with a playfulness of a family pet, Smiling in a seething temperate with its wide griming sharpened Fangs, the thing awaits for the screaming to begin! Within this castle of pain, many lucid men and women Have gone insane, trying to escape from this venue of evil, But hell’s accrued castle retains a heavy toll from the mortal Souls of humanity! In the storms of the ages it’s been battered this collision Clammily of stone and mortar, built and rebuilt until the Living left it to rote and ruins ultimate decay, no priests Words of holy resistance, can save those spiritually trapped, But time and nature, vengeances is a force even the supernatural Cannot resist! But some men never learn, and have rebuilt what should Have remained left alone, and it, the thing awaits once more In the shadows of the past, ready to emerge at the right Mishaps turning, and beware the evils rebirthing in the halls Of Leaps Castle!
