Devil's Lair
He took her to his Devil's Lair
To show the bed he wished to share
With the poor maid so unaware
She walked into his deadly trap
Frightened when she heard it snap
Her mind it had no time to wrap
Around this new found fate that crossed
Before her eyes, empty and lost
Clouded by the haze and frost
Of promised love she wished for most
She clung to her most gracious host
Feeling almost like a ghost
Lost within a nameless time
When all the clocks began to chime
Reminding her of her crime
She couldn't help but wonder why
Her life had gone so awry
To think of this did make her cry
What happened to her life before
To no one else could she implore
This new life she must endure
To show the bed he wished to share
With the poor maid so unaware
She walked into his deadly trap
Frightened when she heard it snap
Her mind it had no time to wrap
Around this new found fate that crossed
Before her eyes, empty and lost
Clouded by the haze and frost
Of promised love she wished for most
She clung to her most gracious host
Feeling almost like a ghost
Lost within a nameless time
When all the clocks began to chime
Reminding her of her crime
She couldn't help but wonder why
Her life had gone so awry
To think of this did make her cry
What happened to her life before
To no one else could she implore
This new life she must endure
