The Underworld


The Underworld

A Newcomer to the Underworld

Down in the depths of the underworld
Damp, Dark and Dead.
The ghosts hear a newcomer coming
Down in the Doom of the Dead

The shadow of the silvery moon
Looks down in sorrow and pity
He hears the frightened, shattered whimper
Down in the Doom of the Dead

The newcomer’s footsteps ring out in the darkness
Thud,Thud,Thud
He puts one foot in the hollow
Down in the Doom of the Dead

He takes one step and another
The ghosts begin to laugh
A blood chilling, bone chilling, evil laugh
Down in the Doom of the Dead

Down in the depths of the underworld
Damp, Dark and Dead.
The ghosts hear a newcomer coming
Down in the Doom of the Dead
