Man in the mask

In the distant western town

Filled with danger all around

Place you’d visit once or twice

Place you think is filled with lies


There’s a house you should be ware

Of the people living there -

They don’t think of God or Fate

In the way you would expect


In this house of pain and lust

You could never dare to trust

Woman’s love or man’s desire

All are born from sin and fire


In the distant western town

There is trouble all around

Place where every girl exists

With a price tag on her wrist


it’s a curse we all should fear

-it’s a choice - you’d often hear

Those who wield the golden metal

Know no trouble they can’t settle


Lawyers, fathers, lonely souls

All who left their company stores

Paid the price and got attention

Of the girl, they’ll never mention


In this distant ugly town

Fearless maggot, goes by “Brown”

Once a soldier, he used to be

Descent man, but now he’s free

From his wife, named Lenore

From his army and their war


He lives fast and he works hard

Some might say he has no heart

Forces girls into submission

Tortures them like it's his mission


In this dark and gloomy town

No one there to face this Brown


Soon the roomer has emerged

Of the man whose face is purged

He wears a mask, he never speaks

Travels he for many weeks


In the distant western town

Man in mask has killed someone

He was fast and he was fearless

Shot his foe and left no witness


In this house, you should beware

Someone dealt with men in there

All who died were filthy cowards

Striped of money and their powers


In the house of pain and lust

Mister Brown has met at last

Someone from his distant past


Points his gun and puts his finger

Man they often call gunslinger

With a slowly moving trigger,


He just tells him “nevermore”

While his world is going under

Brown replies with awful laughter

“This is not a man, you see”

Man in mask turns out to be

His old wife,

Her name - Lenore


Wore that mask and never talked

Followed him, she even stalked

All this trouble just to see,

Mr.Brown who now if free

From his life, he’s knocked and down

In his blood, he’s shocked and drowned
