Under A Blood Red Moon

     He was born into Evil
His mother a Witch of darkness
His father one of the Devil’s Sons
This could easily explain his Hardness

He was tall dark and handsome
He was always dressed in black
The people of the town only
Knew him as Master Jack

His reflexes were amazingly quick
He could sense another man’s fear
In fact all of his senses were powerful
Even the softest whispers he could hear

He secluded himself in a shack at the
Edge of the forest near a black lagoon
But if he came into town you could
Always find him at the Saloon

He was a natural gun slinger and it’s
Said there were many men he’s killed
For many men tried to face him but
They were unfortunately unskilled

He fell in love with Lila a beautiful
Woman and vowed to change his ways
For a brief moment in time he lived
In blissful and happy days

One night a stranger from afar came
To shoot the legend and watch him die
But Lila intervened and the bullet pierced
Her heart and Jack began to cry

He swiftly killed the stranger and once
Again secluded himself in his shack
As the story goes it was the last of
Him for he never came back

They say the fog is thicker in that
Forest near the Black Lagoon
And you can hear Master Jack cry out
For Lila at night Under A Blood Red Moon
