The Devil's Looking Glass

The air is getting thinner as you climb up the mountain trail

And the misty fog surrounds you like the scalding flames of hell

As you come across the peak you’ll see a jagged rocky mass

And a sign that points ahead and reads the devils looking glass

Many men have gazed upon it but never lived to tell the tale

A haunting rock formation at the tip top of the trail

When darkness falls upon the town and the clouds turn to haze

The moonlight casts a shadow in the shape of evil’s face

Now the lost souls of the dead make it their home

On a mountainside they find themselves alone

A breath of darkness mirrors all the horror from their past

As a young girl of nineteen I heard the legend told in vain

Thoughts of wonder had arose and pity filled my heart with pain

On a dark and foggy night I knew I had to go and see

The face that shadowed o’er the riverside into the trees

As the daylight turns to dark the trail came out upon a peak

Cold and lonely as I gazed I heard an empty voice speak

Those who wish to look upon my face shall see their fates report

But as I felt the pain of death I saw my body on the shore

Now I live amongst the trail above my bones

Sadness and despair I’m all alone

My breath of darkness mirrors all the horrors from my past

As I make my forever home
