The Asylum

There atop the hill

Glowing in the moonlight

Darkened hallways, lurking in the gloom

You are being watched every step of the way

Haunted room to room...



In The lunatic asylum

Something is still there

In the lunatic asylum

Someone waits and stares...



Madness exuding from the walls

Voices in your head

Catch a glimpse of someone standing

Someone long since dead...



The agony and misery echoes in the air

Electric shock, lobotomies, the locals will not speak

Of what went on here, once upon a time

The laughter and the screams

Whispers in the dark...



The phantom car patrolling

Driving in the mist

An apparition from the past

Without a driver seen...



Walls constrict and suffocate

Closing on your mind

Delirium's embrace

Escape the blighted place...



In The lunatic asylum

Something is still there

In the lunatic asylum

Someone waits and stares...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There is an abandoned mental hospital where a ghostly patrol car from about WW2 is said to appear with no driver behind the seat. Barbarous atrocities are said to have occurred here, which were relatively common at the time, from lobotomies and electric shock therapy used as 'cure-alls' for mental patients. Because of these circumstances, the place is said to be haunted by its former residents - their pain and misery still resounding surrounding and within the long-since abandoned structure, now guarded by vicious hounds.
