Once Upon A Time...

Welcome children, gather 'round,
To heed grim tales of whispered lore
As twilight falls, dark shadows rise
To haunt the night for evermore
For ghastly things lurk in the dim,
Beneath the shadows of your bed
Waiting till you drift asleep
To fill your dreams with mortal dread
Venture deep into the twilight,
And awaken far from home
Beyond the mists of Shadow Forest,
Where ancient Sylvan Spirits roam
Within this dark, enchanted land,
Beasts of legend dwell and thrive
For in the haunted Realm of Fable,
Dreams and nightmares come alive
An evil spell enshrouds the land
In shadows, woe and misery
And in the distant castle tower,
The Queen of Darkness laughs with glee
And all the denizens of the forest
Suffer beneath this vile curse
For deep within these haunted woods
Lurk ghosts and ghouls, and things far worse
Red eyes glow all 'round the hollow
As night wraiths creep and lie in wait
To prey upon the lost and weary
And send them to a grisly fate
For goblins prowl like hungry wolves
And storm clouds blot the moon's pale light,
Beneath the wicked Witch Queen's spell
Of darkness, gloom and endless night
Down a long-forgotten path,
Woodland nymphs and fairies dwell
Within a secret sanctuary,
Untouched by Queen Sinistra's spell
The mystic Labyrinth of Dreams
Lies beyond their ancient gate,
And deep within this endless maze,
A hidden treasure lies in wait
For at the very heart and center,
Lies the fabled crystal key
But all who dare to seek this prize
Are lost for all eternity
This hidden key must be retrieved
To break the spell of endless gloom
Yet none who enter have returned
From deep within this maze of doom
The pathway home is filled with peril,
In this unending midnight hour
From the bleak depths of Crone's Caverns,
To the looming Witch's Tower
Seek the heights of the Black Spires,
Beyond Lake Mordred's distant shore
For therein lies a secret chamber
That hides a long-forgotten door
Grim reflections mask the gateway,
But no dark magic can withstand
The power of the crystal key,
When wielded by a mortal hand
Venture through the looking glass,
Then shatter the enchanted key
To break the spell and lift the curse,
And set the Realm of Fable free
