DARKNESS

Into darkness I must go
To find my beloved taken from me
The jungle deep the rivers flow
what lies ahead I cannot see.

Into darkness I must go
This jungle has a thousand eyes
Without a gun or deadly bow
I wander under angry skies.

Adventurer Stan - 06.11.1937

THE QUEST

The temple deep in darkness waits
8 locks holding its ancient gates
These precious masks may hold the key
In chests kept secret from eyes to see

With stone dagger star and tooth
Search far and deep to learn the truth
His loved one waits scared and alone
Beneath a throne of skull and bone
