It emerged from the mist
Dark and ancient as the Deathless One
Black battlements blocking out the sun
Stone monsters on every rampart
Sentinels of a bygone era
A jagged portcullis hung above the drawbridge
ready to snap shut like hungry jaws
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Where princesses were kept hostage
For the whims of an immortal
Hear their woes echo
In bricks worn by time
Leave behind this monument to madness
Seek safer climbs
Live to tell the tale
