Garlic and Laurels

Around here the theme changes just like day and night
And we walk along through this old town
Proud of who we are
Names can be written in the stars
Magic and much more can be unearthed and found

We carry garlic and laurels
To help heal and protect
Many mysteries of how powerful garlic is
Many legends say how laurels can help us live forever

The ravens fly away
While the bats stay

Tower of Sorcery

In the Tower Of Sorcery
She waits for me

As I look up, about my head
I see the platforms and the crystals
Colored yellow, aqua, and red
As I look below the pitch blackness waits to engulf me

I know you await me somewhere love
What I wouldn't give to have the wings of a dove
As I make my way
I can see the ghostly images and hear the whispers of you from far away

Through this tower and through the crystals of many colors I can see angels as they appear and disappear
They let flowers fall from their hands and arms
I can feel your presence near

I finally found you love
Walking on the invisible walkway to you
We sit down together with arms around each other
We are in our world, king and queen, you and me
In the Tower Of Sorcery

Angela Arises

Angela arises out of the sea
Making her way across the countryside
In her heart she's cold and lonely
She wishes to be loved
She wishes to be adored
She longs to be held and cherished

Her hair hanging in her face
She looks all around
At her surroundings, at this place
She wonders if she can find love
She wonders if she'll survive
She knows she's well and alive
She looks to the sky
And wonders when her time will come
Where she'll fly to the heavens above

The Dreams of the Wonderfully Enchanted

You should know I love you
And I'm sure you love me too
And I"m holding you in my arms
And I'm looking at your face
And I'm holding your gaze

A stranglehold of love
A flickering flame
An old candle
And a silver knife to save our necks

We'll be the dancing ghosts
You're the one I love
Yes, you'll always be the one for me
We'll live inside a castle
We'll live forever or we'll distentagrate
Around your wrist is a bracelet of garland
And around my neck is a rosary

You're everything that I'll be
You're everything that I am

The mercury will rain down
So let it come down

Wonderful and beautiful
Yes my love, that's what you are
You're the sun, I'm the rain
You're the day, I'm the night
There's a blanketful of stars outside tonight
We'll be shined on by the moonlight
As we dance in thin air
Into the night time sky
Wonderful romantic bliss

My Witches Three (Wendy, Gretchen, Carrie)

My Witches Three
You cast your spells with alarming beauty
With a gentleness and you all smile sweetly
Instead of seeing it rain all around
You all change it into stardust

My Witches Three
You all amaze me
With all that you can do
Doing so many things that I never thought or knew
By casting spells or throwing potions
You try to make this time of year the best it can be

Thank you
Wendy, Gretchen, Carrie
My Witches Three

Our Night in Aljiba

We've traveled for so many miles
And I can read your reaction from your face
You stare all around, then your eyes return to me
You gently smile, and take me by the hand
We arrive walking into this town, this new place

As the night is coming soon
And in very little time that it appears
We find a room to stay for the night
This night in Aljiba

We walk through town
Enjoying our night in Aljiba
I can hear a faint ticking of a watch
To the gentle ringing of the Aljiba Bells
And walking along to the many different sounds
So many things to be bought
So many things to be found
Many strange but wonderful surprises abound
In the night time of Aljiba

After this wonderful night
With surprises everywhere tonight
We head back to our room to sleep and bid goodnight
As we enter slumber
Tonight in the town of Aljiba

Cyrstal Teardrops

You cry your crystal teardrops
When you've been hurt
Or when your heart has been ripped open or torn apart
You wish your whole world would stop

Sooner or later
Time affects us all
As well as you and me
It's amazing when you're granted love and mercy
And find out that we're finally free
And be able to see things others probably won't ever choose to believe to see

When I look into your eyes
Crystal teardrops fall down
Very gently, not a sound
And I stare and stand mesmerized
But sweetheart, god bless your heart
You found me in a time of need
Perhaps, more than I would have believed

Symphony of the Night

Symphony of the night plays on
Night time consumes us
The moon shines a blinding light on us
As we walk down the darkened streets
And as we run through the shaded alleys
Mystery sets in the air
Wherever we're going, I know we'll take our time getting there
I know we might not be in this town forever
And we talk about our future and what might happen and what there is to come

Symphony of the night follows us tonight
The woods are dark at this time of night
Symphony of the night is under our feet
We can feel the heat
Symphony of the night lets us fly to the sky
And lets us ride the rocket
Amazing as we pass the many stars comets
We're so high tonight

Sacred Flames

Tonight
We're joined together
We love each other
And so in our choice
We'll be wrapped around the sacred flame

We're joined by our hands
Being whipped and blown by the wind
Building upon a mystery
Being tangled and lost within
Inside and outside our passion and love
Bliss silently falls from above

The sacred flame is inside our circle of arms
But I doubt we'll have to worry
We're safe from harm
Our love we place so much trust in
It makes miracles worth believing

Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades

Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades walk along the beaten, tattered, worn out path
Along with love and hope as their guides
The make their way from where they are to the other side

They make it from the cemetary
After planting flowers in the dirt
In front of the tombstones
The walk to their secret place to which no one knows
They see the fog and the mist

They cloak themselves in the darkness
Side by side they gaze out at the estuary
The ferryman lies in wait

For Trevor and Sypha walk hand in hand
As they approach the ferryman
They pay their toll
And walk aboard his barge
For a night, to see the lake as large

The Art Tower

We walk straight through the door
Right into the Art Tower
Pulsing within its eerie power
Where the ghosts haunt the halls
Where the spiritually departed whisper through the walls

The paintings hang on the walls very high
We walk through the rooms
To see the unique and mysterious
The strange and the supernatural
The beautiful and the wonderful

We journey down the walkway to the Great Hall
Swords, knives, and spears align the walls
Sculptures on the pedestal
Scriptures hung below the paintings with care
And above us, chandeliers are hanging from the ceiling
From chains, back and forth swaying

As we lay by the door
You tell me I'm the one you adore
And I whisper I love you
The candelabras brightly burn
And just like that the flames are blown out gently
Away from you and me
As we enter a peaceful slumber
Us away from the harm
With you in my arms
In the Art Tower

Serena's Serenade

What a horrible curse to have at night
Even though our spirits are reflecting in the light
Shadows on the wall
They move with the time
Scarlet Lilacs lay scattered on the floor
They are the sign of you and me

What a horrible night to have a curse
But for better and never for worse
I'm glad to be in love with you tonight
I'm glad to be with you for always
Love is a lot of things to many
To some, it's beauty
To some, it's reverie
To some , they believe it's pretty
But one thing I've always realised
Is that love never dies

By the Outer Wall

The moon is soaked in red
On my shoulder you rest your head
Above us bats fly overhead
Along with ravens and crows
Where they're destined to go, we both don't know

So we sit by the outer wall
And the fields have seen the harvest come and gone
We nudge closer together
God would have wanted us to be together
Especially on a night like this
To our love for each other
We both declare
The whole night is ours to share
Wonderful Tonight

Transylvania on Zero Dollars Per Day

Love skips along like a stone
Love drifts through the atmosphere
We spit our lives into paper cups
It's amazing how it always seems that times always change
That some things stay normal and some continue to evolve and become strange
If you could, would you spend your days with the flowers
For all time

Wishes and dreams and long faded desires
Are burning in the fire
We're going to watch days fly by
Were going to see the years slide
Come what may
We're on zero dollars per day

Remembering Danasty

Danasty's last stand was so very long ago
In which he saved his love
With his wits
With his knife
Gone through hell to fight the enemy
Love never dies
Love never quits
Whether you plant it in the ground
Or that it rains down from the sky
What a way of life

I remember you Danasty
I remember you telling me your adventures
Aboard that mysterious ship
You, sitting in that crows nest
Watching the skies
Watching the creatures of the night fly by
Climbing walls
Climbing the ceilings
Climbing everything
You've done it all in your time

Hunting High and Low

I'm traveling on a white stallion to the accursed castle
And I'm grasping a shotgun and I'm bearing a sword as well
Love, I know you're here somewhere
I want to be with you tonight
I want to celebrate with you on this rainy and dreary night

The full moon beats down on me
From all angles the spirits of the departed corner all around
Anywhere and everywhere that I can see
So I do battle with the spirits
Giving them something they'll never forget

Sweetheart, I don't know where you are
But rest assured I'll find you
Whether it takes me the rest of this night
Whether the moon is out or not tonight
Whether or not the divining spirits are out to play
Or taking off to the night sky
Or that the rain soaks me to the bone
Wherever you are
I'll find you
Even if I'm hunting high and low

Friends of the Family

Generations and bloodlines come together
They're present in each other
They illuminate within you and me

We'll have a journey ahead of us
But along with the way we'll receive help
From our friends of the family

The world's diseased enough
The waters have become rough
The crops have failed

With our friends of the family
Let's begin our journey

Doppelganger

I stare at you
You stare at me
Weapons drawn
We do battle
To see who will win
To see who will survive

You're very cunning and smart
You also have a passionate heart
Yet we're opponents
And only time will tell of who will come out on top

The Streets of Desolation and Despair

Everyone's gone now
And we're walking in the steady but irritating rain
And in your eyes
They have the marks of being tear stained

The streets of desolation and despair are at our feet
And the wind blows on this night of nights
Yet the lights from the lamp posts still work

We walk along the streets of desolation and despair
And if anyone were still out here
They wouldn't utter any words
They wouldn't utter a care
Because they don't care in their hearts

Return to the Villa

I've returned to the Villa
For the first time in years
The chandelier's still hanging from the ceiling
The candlesticks that were once hacked off have been replaced
All of these things take me back in time
When I remember that youth was mine

I walk through the halls
Past the rose garden
Up the stairs while glancing at some paintings of the Villa's previous residents

I walk into a guest room
Where the furniture has been faded from the sunny afternoon
The chairs have been stacked with care
The mirrors have been replaced
The bed seems untouched yet made after all these years

With night coming
And my energy, wits, and bones weary
I purify the room with holy water
I leave crosses and crucifixes on the night stand
And I hang garlic all around

With me guarded by the forces of good
I lay myself down to sleep
While hoping for a wonderful dream to keep

The Haunted Ship of Fools

On the haunted ship of fools
The sea surrounding the ship is gentle for the time being
The haunted ship has creaky rigging

The planks have become moldy and rotten
Lots of memorable and adventurous times are gone
but not forgotten

The haunted ship of fools is home to an undead seaworthy crew
Whose rules and ways are theirs and theirs alone
As they proudly inherit this ship as their own

The haunted ship of fools sails on
Looking for the next high seas robbery
As well as many discoveries of silver and gold

The Sunken Temple of Sarnath

The moat is dreary and disgusting as we hop from platform to platform
While trying not to let the fishmen and bats knock us off or down

It's a wonderful night for everything living inside or around the sunken temple of Sarnath
And you and I have to deal with all their pride and happiness tonight
But we brave on
Even if the water slops around our feet

We do battle with the bone dragons
While they move in a wave-like pattern
And as they hurl fireballs at us
But we make sure they reach their untimely end

The water begins to rise with us as we brave through the army of the night
The sunken temple of Sarnath seems intent on drowning us
But we're much smarter than that
And we survive
As we reach the highest point of safety
While putting down for the count and asleep the bats

Carrie Fernandes

Carrie senses the castle beckoning to her
She hears the wolf howl in the distance
She claims to hear the children cry

Dressed in a blue skirt, blue leggings, green jerkin, and a large pink bow across her chest
She awaits to fight for the power she'll have to wrest

Belnades residue in her blood
Light orbs growing in her hands
Pain in her heart
She knows her destiny
She clearly understands

Where Love is Joined and Sunday's Sound

Many traditions come from you and me
Joining hand in hand
We think about our lives
And how it will be impacted throughout

We'll begin our eternity
Walking into the place where love is joined and Sunday's sound
And I know the both of us will have nothing else to lose

From here after
What we search for will be uncovered
It will all make sense
In a life and love ahead

Ripples in time
Looking back at the past
Faded but still remaining
Family and friends lighting the candles
Saluting the both of us
As we wait for a long life together
Ladybirds and nightingales
Looking on and away
From where love is joined and Sunday's sound

Darkside is a Shocker

Darkside floats in the air
Without a worry or care
He guards his domain well
Carrying his scepter
While being followed by a thunderous cloud

Darkside is a shocker for those who are naive and wary
He holds his own
Along with the many enchanted creatures and plants
that have fully grown

Darkside is a shocker
As he fades into the night
Wafting through the wind
Trying to find the light

Innocent Devils and Familiars

I'm ready to go and fight the night
I'm ready to avenge your loss
I'm ready preserve your memory
And I have a lot of other memories and emotions bottled up inside of me

If I'm going to face the minions of the night
Them I'm not going alone
Some come out and come with me
Rise my friends, rise
My innocent devils and familiars
For I'm your master

My innocent devils and familiars
We have a long journey filled with many long nights
And the minions of the night would love nothing more to make you disappear
And to make my journey incomplete and to send me to an early grave

So let's go now
My innocent devils and familars
The night cries out to us

Tower of Science

Chains wrap around the pulleys
Boxes are shot out from the walls
Conveyor belts dislike us for the most part
Electrical lasers blast statically
Blasting in more than 1 pattern
They're to play mind games with us

As we go through the Tower of Science
Machines are tracking us
Waiting for us to make the wrong move
Across the platforms we jump nimbly and lightly
And all the mysterious creations and experiments
Their faces show agony and pain
We gather our courage
We regain our balance
Even though we're inside
We continue on through the night

Riding up on the platforms
Boxes and other weapons are scattered about
Some hit the wall and explode

Gazing at the exit
You take my hand
And we run towards it
Ah, the memories we'll never forget
As we leave behind the Tower of Science

Unsung Heroine

No one really seems to notice you
Or really seems to pay you much attention

I can say to you
That you really keep my attention
I believe you speak many truths

You might be an unsung heroine to some
But you've found a place within me
Time will only tell of what's to come
But for the time being
You appreciate me and my words
And I like being on your side
As well as your good graces

Soleiyu

Soleiyu trains outside in the backyard
Knowing full well that his time to fight will one day come

So he'll be given the holy axe and vampire killer whip
For one day he'll have no choice to fight
He'll have no choice but to face the night

So Soleiyu continues with his training
Whether it's hot under the sun
Or cold, damp, and raining
He knows he'll have to continue the family tradition
He'll have no choice
He's the only one

Memories of Rosa in the Rose Garden

The sound of the shoes on my feet echoes through the hall I'm walking in
The hall leads me into the rose garden
And this particular rose garden reminds me of a familiar face

She was set free
She found love
And the remains of her struggle are kept secret in this rose garden
She never gave in
She never stopped hoping
When it seemed all hope was lost
The good of it all came back for her
It all came back from Rosa

A Jaunt Through the Courtyard

The castle is near
All we have to do to get there is a jaunt through the courtyard

Keep your weapons at the ready
As we journey through the courtyard
Candles and torches burn brightly
And somewhat eerily
The ground is soft and somewhat moist, along with being hard
As we walk along
And also race like the wind

Harpies, hunchbacks, and disembodied floating arms try to stop us in our tracks
But with destiny in our blood
And ice water in our veins
We accept the challenge to attack

We commit those adversaries to a deep slumber
With that done and far behind
We walk up the castle steps
Passing by the honorable sage statues
And walk right through the castle's front door

Wicked Child

Wicked child
Tonight is your night
Enjoy your epic run
But be careful of the dark forces that are running around tonight

Enjoy bathing in the light of the haunted moon
As you run along by the castle ruins
Passing by the decrepit statues
Stoned to their core
Frozen in their pose
Along with the ever growing vines all over the walls
And all over the place
Enjoy the sights of the towers and Outer Keep as they come into view
Right in front of you

Wicked Child
Take in the sights as you pass them by

Warakiya

We say a prayer in front of the church in Warakiya
Afterwards we'll take the first few steps into a night of horror
Our weapons fastened to our hips
We walk on through Warakiya
Ready to strike at any being of the undead
Before they get under our skin

And mess with our heads Houses and other properties have been left to crumble and rot
Along with being deserted
People and families have thus since fled

We walk up through the chapel
And bats have made their home in the belfry
We take a few more steps
And they swoop down to attack you and me

We manage to beat the bats down
And somewhere, we can hear
We can hear the sounds of the skeletons and zombies outside on other grounds
As well as many other dark forces drawing near

Once we leave the chapel
We'll take the opportunity to battle through the forsaken streets
Fighting and bartering through
Taking many items that we happen to come upon
Including weapons, potions, and food

After all that
The final place for us to clear is the graveyard

In the graveyard
We pass by the many tombstones and graves
While putting the undead away
All the while feeling brave

We have an audience with the Skull Knight
We whip and flail away at the creature
He seems to be in charge of all the activity here and now in Warakiya

After many successful attempts
We've finally defeated the Skull Knight
And have sent him to his resting place
After battling for so long
We're happy to finally see relief on our faces
And after a long battle
And after a long fight
We've saved Warakiya
And Warakiya can finally be at peace tonight
And all the days after

We must be on our way
For our journey has just begun
But in the meantime
We've made our mark in Warakiya

Things can finally return to normal
In Warakiya

Laurels in My Soup (Enhancing the Aroma)

The curse has spread throughout the countryside
And we're all waiting and hoping for a hero
Life these days to many seems bleak
Many are trying to find the right words to speak
As well as going through each day, day by day

Many are homeless
As well as hungry and lonely
Just like me

In this old building
A family huddles together in one corner
Another family huddles together in another corner
Some sit or lie down on the many benches
And I have my space all cleared for myself

The bell has rung for dinner
And we all line up

We're being served soup for the night
I take my dinner with me back to my space
My space which I'm calling home for tonight
And we'll see how many more days after

I sit down and say a prayer before I start to eat
The soup is great
But it lacks something
I sit my dinner to the side and I open up my knapsack
And I pull out my laurels

One by one, I lightly drop a laurel into my soup
And it enhances the aroma

The soup is wonderful to taste
The laurels have helped enhance the aroma
As I continue to eat
The crescent moon has appeared and ready to shine
Right through the window to the space in this building I rightfully call mine

I lean against the wall
Sitting on my sheets and blankets
Finishing off my soup

Many people and many families have gone to bed at this point in time
I stay up for a while
Admiring the crescent moon
While I pray for the curse throughout this land to end soon

Finishing my dinner
I put my spoon and bowl on the ground beside me, my blankets, and sheets
I hope for peace to return to the countryside
But for tonight
I'll enjoy sleeping the best I can
Under the crescent moon's ethereal light

Room of Clocks

After adventuring for so long
I finally have reached the room of clocks
And I've done my best up to this point to remain
valiant and strong

In the room of clocks
All the clocks and timepieces click and chime
Yet the way the sound is nice, gentle, and peaceful

I know that there's a definitive battle ahead
And I know that the sun is gone
And the moon has arrived
I've done my best up to this point to survive
Although to say the least, it hasn't been easy

In the room of clocks
I use this time that I have to rest
To sit down and rest my body
To eat some roast beef or some roast chicken
To have and drink some water
To tend to my wounds using a first aid kit

Afterwards
My destiny awaits
A battle I have no choice but to fight is near
The blood red moon and the night are here
And my journey must continue

Actrise

After making my way out of Dracula's underground
You wait for me in a room with sunlight dimming through
a few of the castle's windows and fans slowly turning


Dressed elegantly in a black dress with red trim
A hat with jewels and a feather
Lovely earrings
As well as fingernails painted in red
And carrying a large scepter in both your hands
You look beautiful but somehow you seem to make
my skin crawl
I can tell there's something dark about you
Something evil
Something sinister
You make me uneasy


You introduce yourself to me as Actrise
And you tell me you're a witch


You tell me that you're loyal to Dracula
And that you serve him as well
Which makes my mouth go dry
And my skin go chalk white


You tell me you're surprised that I made it
this far
And that I have a strong spirit
But you tell me that I won't survive in this evil castle


You ask me to quit my journey
And join the side of darkness and evil
But I quickly and angrily refuse


You tell me that you'll give me time
Time to consider my choices
Of whether or not I'll stay on the side of good
Or go to the side of evil with you and Dracula
You tell me that you'll be waiting for me
Awaiting our next encounter
As you fade away and disappear


Staring around and finally collecting my thoughts
of what has just transpired
I can tell that there's a sense of dread within me
But also an intense fire
And an intense will to succeed


Needless to say
I look forward to our next encounter, Actrise
But it won't be of what you think or what you
would've hoped
That much I can assure you is true

Actrise's Last Folly

On top of the room of clocks
And looking at the clock tower that I soon will
have to transpire through
I notice you
And I can tell you've been waiting for me


I walk over to where you stand
And we meet again once more Actrise


You tell me you're amazed to see me
After all that I've gone through
And as of now
There's only the blood red moon
The night
The roof of the room of clocks where we stand now
This roof which will soon be a place for battle
You and I both surely know it


You tell me that it's still not too late to join the side
of darkness and evil
To join the side of of you and Dracula
You tell me you're an immortal
Having slew your own child to achieve the prize of
immortality
But l look at you with great sadness
Saying you're pathetic
And that I won't join you in the work of evil


You tell me that I make you sad
Looking at you as your child once did


I had a feeling that you knew that I wouldn't join you
You tell me that you're ready to battle with me
And so it shall be Actrise
As you float in the air
You against me
This is your last folly Actrise


With the help of your scepter
You raise up a barricade of multi-colored crystals
to shield you from my attacks
You raise crystals from under my feet as I run to avoid
being attacked by you
And you fire a couple of shots from your scepter to attack
me


Being quick and nimble as I am
As I can be
I do my best to avoid your attacks
I throw axes and crosses to take out your crystal barricade
And I throw an axe to attack you
Where a crystal of yours once stood protecting you
Has shattered
Forcing you to start attacking and protecting yourself
All over again


Minute after minute
We continue to fight
You've done some damage to me
And I've done some damage to you


I can tell you're weakening
Actrise
And so one final attack I land on you
And you fall to the ground


Putting my weapons away
I can tell you're face is bleeding
You use your arm to over your face
Your magic has failed you, Actrise


You tell me you can't believe that I defeated you
And that you're immortality is gone from within you
You show your face to me
And your face is a skull now
Your beauty is long gone


Your magic turns against you
Encasing you in a crystal of its own
Before finally shattering
And you disappearing
Forever


I offer a single yet miserable thought for you, Actrise
After that I say a prayer and cross my arms for your
child
I leave behind a crucifix
In your child's memory
On this battlefield we shared
Your child can finally be happy
Your child can finally be at peace in Heaven
That much I can't really say for you, Actrise
Wherever you are now.

Underground Waterway

Falling and hitting the brick floor hard
I see the only direction I can go is forward
I walk along until I turn left


I step
And the floor gives way under my feet
Luckily I made it safely across


There's a pitfall in from of me
And a ledge sticking out


With a running start
I run and jump
Grabbing the ledge with my hands
Transversing right with the help of my hands


Finally seeing solid ground underneath me
I let go and walk out to this large area
This large place
This underground waterway


I notice the water that runs throughout this place
This water is deadly
Since I can smell poison from it
I must take my steps carefully
As I don't want to meet my untimely demise
in this poisonous drink


Walking along
The forces of Dracula seem to know I'm here
As I hear some animal groaning


Leaping out of the water
Into the air
And on the ground with me
Lizardmen have come
Bearing swords, axes, and shields
While also obtaining the ability to spit fire
or spew poison


Seeing how that this is going to be the way it is
in the Underground Waterway
I fight off and kill the lizardmen one by one
Left and right


After that battle
I decide I want to spend as little time in this place
as possible
So I run instead of walk
Running up and down stairs
Jumping off broken bridges and series' of platforms
Climbing and hauling myself up with my hands if I need to


In the final stretch
Before I leave this disgusting place
I notice that I'll have to shut off the waterfalls that continue
to bring poisoned water into this place
Walk along narrow walkways
Jump across small platforms
And avoid the spikes that crash down from the ceiling


I quickly and calmly go about what I have to do to get out
of here
Shutting off the waterfalls one by one
Avoiding being seriously hurt by the spikes that crash down
from the ceiling
Jumping across the platforms, one by one
And running past the lizardmen who wish to fight me


After all is said and done
I notice the exit in the distance


Finding solid ground once more
I walk along the narrow walkways
On either side of me are pools of poisoned water
And behind me are lizardmen
Trying to stay with me
Trying to fight with me
As I'm trying to stay away from them


The exit is only a few yards away from me
The lizardmen have given up on chasing me
And have gone back to areas in the Underground
Waterway
However, bats have flown in and are trying to attack
and annoy me


I kill each of the bats
And run towards the exit
Going through the door
And not wanting to see the Underground Waterway again

Renon's Waiting

Wandering around the Villa
Searching through every nook and cranny
in this eerie place
I've made out pretty well
Finding weapons, food, and clues


Leaving from the liviing room of the Villa
I notice a spiral staircase leading down


Walking down the steps and reaching the floor
I notice a contract laying on the floor
I kneel down to see
But the writing is hard to see


Suddenly
I hear footsteps
And suddenly I'm face to face with an individual
in a green suit, green bowler hat, with a suitcase


Walking down the steps
He tells me his name Renon
And that he's a demon


I get ready to defend myself
But Renon holds his hands up
Telling me he's not an enemy
And that his job is to provide useful items for
adventurers to this evil place


Renon tells me it's shameful for him to work
But a demon like him tells me he needs gold
Where he resides in these days


He tells me that whenever the need arises
Just pick up the scroll to summon him


Taking out his pocket watch
He tells me that we've talked too long
And to summon him whenever the need arises


And with those last words
He disappears


Looking at the contract
I decide to pass on it for the time being right now
But I have a feeling I'll be doing business with Renon
Sooner or later

Underground Tunnel

A torch is lit
As my eyes adjust to this place
This Underground Tunnel
Seeing a signpost ahead
I'm on my way to get through this place


Blades rise up and down
And I do my best to get past them
As I continue along my way
Riding elevators up and down and exploring
off key locations
I hear twitching footsteps far and near


As I run along
I face many dangers
With bats flying all around
And another dreadful foe
Women Spider Centaurs


Tossing vials of holy water here and there,
left and right
The woman spider centaurs burn as I run along
to a safer destination


A narrow bridge appears before me
So I make my way across very carefully
Not wanting to fall into the poisoned water


Finally crossing the bridge
And reaching safety for a few seconds
I continue along
Finding weapons and food


I dart past another set of falling blades
Then for a few moments
I take care of a few pesky bats


Looking ahead of me
I notice gondolas moving toward their set
destination


Reaching the end of the path
I notice a gondola to be ridden on
With nowhere else to go
I board the gondola and I'm off to another
destination


Reaching a platform
I step off the gondola
And I read a message left behind
Telling me to take the next gondola to the exit


Boarding the next gondola
I feel the breeze as it speeds along
I defeat a few flying enemies with holy water
As I'm cruising along


Reaching the checkpoint
I step off the gondola and ride an elevator upward
And looking all around
There are poison water pits everywhere


One by one
I jump, grip, hang, and pull myself up on or most
of the platforms
The bats and the women spider centaurs
are still following me
Still on my heels


Running as fast as I can
I can see the exit in front of me
Jogging the final few yards
I go through the door
Leaving behind the Underground Tunnel
Leaving behind certain death
And collapsing on the floor
Catching my breath

Tower of Execution

In the Tower Of Execution
I look all around
Lava fills the area
The heat is cranked up immensely
Blades and spikes are moving, coming,
and swinging in patterns
And small sinking platforms are littered
throughout


Running along
And jumping carefully
From platform to platform
I see the many constants and dangers all around


Making my way, safely
The best way I can
I'm running along
Level by level


Some skeletons and charmed weaponry come to
do battle with me
But I defeat them all with the help of my mystic
weapons


Seeing a destroyed building in the middle of the lava
I see a weapon that will help me
I throw some holy water through the air
Seeing it splash on an invisible walkway
I throw some more vials of holy water to coat the walkway
With the pathway somewhat visible
I walk down to claim my prize
Which is another weapon
On top of the crumbling building


After claiming another weapon
I jog back up to the ledge where I once was
Only now, seeing 2 skeletons waiting for me
I dispatch both of them very quickly


On my final trek through the Tower Of Execution
I notice iron balls falling into the lava pool
Causing lava to splash everywhere


Paying careful attention
When the iron ball has finally suck and the lava
has stopped splashing all around
I run like mad when the coast is clear


Running and leaping to save my own life
I bypass that difficult part in the Tower Of Execution
And I'm still alive


Lastly
Before I can leave the Tower Of Execution
I must run, duck, and pass the falling, moving, and swinging
blades


One by one
I pass by each of them


The exit is in front of me
A light is shining from the exit
Running through the door
I count my blessings that I've made it through
the Tower Of Execution
Because I know it wasn't easy
But I survived it
And I'm still alive
Worn out and tired
But still alive

Sonia Belmont

In this land of Transylvania
Despair and madness run rampant
And people are wishing and wanting for it
to end


Taking up the whip held by her ancestors
Sonia Belmont makes a vow to the people
of the countryside to end the terror


People hope and wish that you'll succeed Sonia
They're literally praying for it
They're praying for you as well


Into the night you go Sonia
We all pray that you'll succeed
And be triumphant

A Harpy Flies Around the Outer Wall

TThe blood red moon surely shines bright tonight
As a harpy flies around the outer wall


Flying around the outer wall
The Harpy watches over this area
Looking for intruders
And ready to engage in battle
If it has to


The harpy is one of a kind
And it knows it


The night is still
And the harpy continues to fly around the outer wall

At Dead River

At Dead River
The ferryman waits for me
Depending on what I have
And what I can show him
Where I'm going, he holds the key


Will it be to a town
Will it be to a mansion
I honestly don't know
It's all up to the ferryman
It's all up to him

Outside the Gates to Dracula's Property

Arriving back here once again
I can tell it's going to be a long night
The night seems to want to go on forever
Or for as long as it possibly can


Looking around me
I can see different stone formations and statues
with bats flying in and out of them
The bats fly into the night sky


I can tell where I am
I'm outside the gates to Dracula's property


The moon has chosen to be crescent tonight
I feel it's the only thing I have on my side
For comfort


Outside the gates to Dracula's property
I can tell this will be one long night
As I'll be in for the fight of my life

Haunted Stables

In the haunted stables
Nests of snakes either hang from the ceiling
Or crawl along the ground


And so far
Weapons, food, and treasures are the only things
that I've found
They're the only things that are providing me solace
They're the only things that are giving me a fighting
chance
As well as a winning chance


Pieces of wood have been gathered and stacked
I'd like to think I'm the only one alone here
In the haunted stables
I'd like to hope that could be
But somehow I feel that's not the case
There's many things here that will want to cause me fear
There's many things here that are still in this place


Decapitated horse heads that are controlled by spirits
hunt me
Ghosts begin to follow me


In the haunted stables
Things can't be any more crazy
Things can't get any more eerie

Haunted Barnyard

Out in the haunted barnyard
Under the crescent moon
The skeleton horses lay down
and enjoy the night with each other
Bales of hay seem to have been piled up
And the stone towers and the forest aren't too
far away
The haunted barnyard is indeed well
And this night surely feels evil to me
In more ways than one

A Dead Knight and His Horse

Fighting through the haunted stables
The enemies were plenty
And they were able
But I defeated each and every one of them


Reaching the end
A dead knight and his horse arrive to do battle
with me


Standing on a platform
I hurl a couple of throwing weapons his way
Keeping him and his steed at bay


After a while
The horse vanishes
And the dead knight and I go at it
Battling one on one


Whipping away at him
I think I'm defeated him
But he fakes his own death
And so with one final strike from my whip
He crumbles to the ground and distentagrates


I'm now free to leave the stables
Heading on through the forest and a lake
filled with poison

Dracula's Cemetary

Surrounded by trees
In Dracula's cemetary
Hands of the deceased reach out of the ground
Alert to perhaps sight and sound
And try to grab my feet


Large spiders spin their webs
As well as slither down their webs
And try to throw their offspring at me


Forest, grass, and leaf monsters stalk me
As well as dead gardeners
As I walk along and brave the dangers
Through Dracula's cemetary
