For many years a tale was spread
Of hoax or witchery that’s still to say.
The strange and invisible beating of a drum
Inspired terror length & breadth of a kingdom doomed.
A dreadful hollow sound in the air
That no living creature could ever bear.
On a cold and bitter winter’s night,
The reverend was summoned to fight
The kind of evil that was unleashed.
Yet the noises seemed at times to cease,
Never underrate an act of revenge,
As it always returns with mighty strength.
Reign of fear, as wielded the sceptre.
Kingdom of darkness, dominion of the spectre.
